A partition contains a list of route patterns (directory number (DN) and route patterns). Partitions facilitate call routing by dividing the route plan into logical subsets based on organization, location, and call type. For more information about partitions, refer to "Partitions and Calling Search Spaces" in the Cisco CallManager System Guide.

Adding a Partition

Perform the following procedure to add a partition.

Procedure

---

Step 1 Choose Route Plan > Partition in the menu bar.

Step 2 Click Add a New Partition.

Step 3 Enter the appropriate settings as described in Table 12-1.

Table 12-1 Partition Configuration Settings 

Field	Description
Partition Name	Enter a name in the Partition Name field. Ensure each partition name is unique to the route plan.
Description	Enter a description in the Description field. The description can comprise up to 50 alphanumeric characters and can contain any combination of spaces, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_). If you do not enter a description, the Cisco CallManager automatically enters a partition name in this field.

---

Timesaver Use concise and descriptive names for your partitions. The CompanynameLocationCalltype format usually provides a sufficient level of detail and is short enough to enable you to quickly and easily identify a partition. For example, CiscoDallasMetroPT identifies a partition for toll-free, inter- local access and transport area (LATA) calls from the Cisco office in Dallas.

---

---

Tips You can enter multiple partitions at the same time by entering the partition name and description, if applicable, in the Partition Name & Description text box. Remember to use one line for each partition entry and separate the partition name and description with a comma.

---

Step 4 Click Insert to add the new partition(s).

---

Note You can only configure one partition at a time. To configure a different partition than the one that displays, click Back to Find/List Partitions and follow the instructions in the "Finding a Partition" section to locate the partition you want to configure.
