Cascaded Systems
• Link mode is relevant only to inline topologies.
• It is recommended that in cascaded topologies, both SCE platforms be configured for the same link
mode, otherwise the service will be unpredictable.
• The default link mode is forwarding. When other link modes are selected, active service control is
not available and any service control configuration will not be applicable.
Step 1 From the Cisco SCE8000 (config if)# prompt, type link mode [forwarding|bypass|cutoff] and press
Enter.
