About Partition Setup
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the menu path to configure partitions.
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 that are based on organization, location, and call type. For more information about partitions and calling search spaces, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
Partitions Configuration Tips
You can configure multiple partitions. To enter multiple partitions, use one line for each partition entry. You can enter up to 75 partitions at a time; the names and descriptions can have a total of up to 1475 characters. Use a comma (,) to separate the partition name and description on each line. If you do not enter a description, Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses the name as the description.

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. |
If you are updating a partition, click Reset, or use the Apply Config button as described in the procedure to synchronize a partition with affected devices. When you reset devices that are associated with the partition, all calls on affected gateways drop.
