Single Link: Receive-only Topology
In this topology, an external switch resides physically on the FE link between the subscribers and
the network. The traffic passes through the external switch, which splits traffic to the SCE 2000.
The SCE 2000, therefore, only receives traffic and does not transmit.

3-2: Single SCE Platform Single Link: Receive-Only Topology
When configuring the SCE 2000, an external switch topology is referred to as “receive-only”
connection mode.
Note that in an external switch topology, the SCE 2000 only enables traffic monitoring
functionality.
Note
When implementing receive-only topologies with a switch, the switch must support SPAN functionality
that includes separation between ingress and egress traffic and multiple SPAN-ports destinations.
