Usage Guidelines

 

This command can be useful for troubleshooting system bus errors. The system encounters a bus error

 

 

when the processor tries to access a memory location that either does not exist (a software error) or does

 

 

not respond properly (a hardware problem).

To use the show region command to troubleshoot a bus error, note the memory location address from the show version command, the show context command, or from the system error message that alerted you to the bus error. The show region command can then be used to determine if that address is a valid memory location.

For example, in the output of the show version command after a system restart casued by a bus error, you will see output similar to “System restarted by bus error at PC 0x30EE546, address 0xBB4C4.” In this case, the memory location that the router tried to access is 0xBB4C4. If the address falls within one of the ranges in the show region output, it means that the router was accessing a valid memory address, but the hardware corresponding to that address is not responding properly. This indicates a hardware problem.
