I went around about this with Cisco for some time. I made them change
their docs. See the line: "Caution Dual MSFCs in a single chassis are
designed to be used in redundant mode only and you must configure both
MSFCs identically; they must have the exact same configuration. Table
22-2 summarizes the identical requirements and the exceptions for Layer
3 redundancy for a single chassis. We do not support configurations
where the MSFCs are not configured identically."
