Split Dial Shelves
Other router shelf is in split mode when this one is not.
Explanation
Split mode is intended to support two router shelves connected to a single dial shelf. To
use this arrangement, both connected router shelves should be configured for split dial shelves.
Problems can arise if two routers are connected to the dial shelf, but one router is not configured in
split mode.
Action Issue a dial-shelf split slots command to this router or a no-dial-shelf split slots command
to the other router.
Other router shelf is not in split mode when this one is.
Explanation
Split mode is intended to support two router shelves connected to a single dial shelf. To
use this arrangement, both connected router shelves should be configured for split dial shelves.
Problems can arise if two routers are connected to the dial shelf, but one router is not configured in
split mode.
Action Issue a dial-shelf split slots command to this router or a no-dial-shelf split slots command
to the other router.
Other router shelf has overlapping slot ownership specified in its split dial shelf
configuration.
Explanation
Each router shelf connects to one of the DSCs in the dial shelf. The dial-shelf feature
boards are divided between the two router shelves. Each router controls its own set of feature boards
as if those were the only boards present. There is no interaction between the routers or between
feature boards owned by one router and feature boards owned by the other router.
This error message indicates that both routers are configured in split mode, but there is an overlap in
the set of slots each router claims. While the conflict in slot ownership continues, both router shelves
will periodically receive this error message.
Action Correct the configuration of one of the routers by issuing a dial-shelf split slots command
with a list of slot numbers that does not include the slot that is reporting as having overlapping
ownership. You must configure the division of the dial-shelf slots between the two router shelves so
that each router controls an appropriate mix of trunk and modem cards. Any card in a slot that is
claimed by both routers remains under the control of the router that claimed it first until you resolve
the conflict by correcting the configuration.
Verifying and Troubleshooting Split-Dial-Shelf Installation
Your Cisco 7206 router went through extensive testing before leaving the factory. However, if you
encounter problems starting the routers, do the following:
• Review the safety warnings in Cisco 7200 Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information, available
online at
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/core/7206/
• Review the troubleshooting information in the Cisco 7200 VXR Installation and Configuration
Guide, available online at
