Core Issue
For a Cisco 7200 series router or Cisco 7200 VXR router that has an NPE-225, NPE-200, NPE-175, NPE-150, or NPE-100 installed, one or more of these error messages may be displayed when the bandwidth points exceed the system limit:
%C7200-3-PACONFIG:Exceeds 3 high speed port adapters
%C7200-3-PACONFIG:Exceeds 5 high/medium speed port adapters
%C7200-3-PACONFIG:Exceeds 800 aggregate port adapter bandwidth points
For a Cisco 7200 VXR router that has an NPE-400, NPE-300, or NSE-1 installed, one or more of these error messages may be displayed when the bandwidth points are exceeded on the buses:
%C7200-3-PACONFIG:Exceeds 600 bandwidth points for slots 0, 1, 3 & 5
%C7200-3-PACONFIG:Exceeds 600 bandwidth points for slots 2, 4 & 6
%C7200-3-PACONFIG:Exceeds 600 bandwidth points on both odd & even numbered slots
Resolution
If any of the previous messages are displayed on a Cisco 7200 series router, the port adapter configuration must be changed in order to eliminate the error messages.
For guidelines and bandwidth point values for port adapters and I/O controllers, refer to the Bandwidth and Bandwidth Point Requirements section of Cisco 7200 Series Port Adapter Installation Requirements.
Bringing the hardware configuration into compliance with these guidelines will eliminate these messages.
