Example: Enabling Wide IS-IS Metrics for Traffic Engineering
This example shows how to allow a wide range of metric values on IS-IS interfaces.
Requirements
Before you begin, configure IS-IS on both routers. See Example: Configuring IS-IS for information about the sample IS-IS configuration.
Overview
Figure 1 shows the topology used in this example.
This example describes the steps on Device R1.
Configuration
CLI Quick Configuration
To quickly configure this example, copy the following commands, paste them into a text file, remove any line breaks, change any details necessary to match your network configuration, and then copy and paste the commands into the CLI at the [edit] hierarchy level.
Device R1
Step-by-Step Procedure
The following example requires you to navigate various levels in the configuration hierarchy. For information about navigating the CLI, see Using the CLI Editor in Configuration Mode in the CLI User Guide.
To configure IS-IS checksums:
- Configure a metric of 100 on the interface at both IS-IS
levels.[edit protocols isis interface lt-1/2/0.1]user@R1# set level 2 metric 100user@R1# set level 1 metric 100
- Enable wide metrics.[edit protocols isis]user@R1# set level 2 wide-metrics-onlyuser@R1# set level 1 wide-metrics-only
Results
From configuration mode, confirm your configuration by entering the show protocols command. If the output does not display the intended configuration, repeat the instructions in this example to correct the configuration.
If you are done configuring the device, enter commit from configuration mode.
Verification
Confirm that the configuration is working properly.
Verifying That Wide Metrics Are Enabled
Purpose
Make sure that the interface has the expected metric.
Action
From operational mode, enter the show isis interface extensive command.
user@R1> show isis interface lt-1/2/0.1 extensiveIS-IS interface database:
lt-1/2/0.1
Index: 68, State: 0x6, Circuit id: 0x1, Circuit type: 3
LSP interval: 100 ms, CSNP interval: 10 s, Loose Hello padding
Adjacency advertisement: Advertise
Level 1
Adjacencies: 1, Priority: 64, Metric: 100
Hello Interval: 9.000 s, Hold Time: 27 s
Designated Router: tp5-R2.02 (not us)
Level 2
Adjacencies: 1, Priority: 64, Metric: 100
Hello Interval: 9.000 s, Hold Time: 27 s
Designated Router: tp5-R2.02 (not us)Meaning
The output shows that the metric is set to 100, as expected, at both Level 1 and Level 2.
