    Configure IS-IS-Specific Options

    Purpose

    When unexpected events or problems occur, or if you want to diagnose IS-IS adjacency establishment issues, you can view more detailed information by configuring options specific to IS-IS.

    To configure IS-IS options, follow these steps:

    1. Displaying Detailed IS-IS Protocol Information
    2. Displaying Sent or Received IS-IS Protocol Packets
    3. Analyzing IS-IS Link-State PDUs in Detail

    Displaying Detailed IS-IS Protocol Information

    Action

    To trace IS-IS messages in detail, follow these steps:

    1. Configure the flag to display detailed IS-IS protocol messages.
      [edit protocols isis traceoptions] user@host# set flag hello detail
    2. Verify the configuration.
      user@host# show

      For example:

      [edit protocols isis traceoptions]user@host# show file isislog size 10k files 10;flag hello detail;
    3. Commit the configuration.
      user@host# commit
    4. View the contents of the file containing the detailed messages.
      user@host# run show log filename

      For example:

      user@host# run show log isislog

    Displaying Sent or Received IS-IS Protocol Packets

    To configure the tracing for only sent or received IS-IS protocol packets, follow these steps:

    1. Configure the flag to display sent, received, or both sent and received packets.
      [edit protocols isis traceoptions]user@host# set flag hello send

      or

      [edit protocols isis traceoptions]user@host# set flag hello receive

      or

      [edit protocols isis traceoptions]user@host# set flag hello
    2. Verify the configuration.
      user@host# show

      For example:

      [edit protocols isis traceoptions]
user@host# show 
file isislog size 10k files 10;
flag hello send;

      or

      [edit protocols isis traceoptions]
user@host# show 
file isislog size 10k files 10;
flag hello receive;

      or

      [edit protocols isis traceoptions]
user@host# show 
file isislog size 10k files 10;
flag hello send receive;
    3. Commit the configuration.
      user@host# commit
    4. View the contents of the file containing the detailed messages.
      user@host# run show log filename

      For example:

      user@host# run show log isislog
Sep 27 18:17:01 ISIS periodic xmit to 01:80:c2:00:00:15 (IFL 2)
Sep 27 18:17:01 ISIS periodic xmit to 01:80:c2:00:00:14 (IFL 2)
Sep 27 18:17:03 ISIS periodic xmit to 01:80:c2:00:00:15 (IFL 2)
Sep 27 18:17:04 ISIS periodic xmit to 01:80:c2:00:00:14 (IFL 2)
Sep 27 18:17:06 ISIS L2 hello from 0000.0000.0008 (IFL 2) absorbed
Sep 27 18:17:06 ISIS periodic xmit to 01:80:c2:00:00:15 (IFL 2)

    Analyzing IS-IS Link-State PDUs in Detail

    To analyze IS-IS link-state PDUs in detail, follow these steps:

    1. Configure IS-IS open messages.
      [edit protocols isis traceoptions]user@host# set flag lsp detail
    2. Verify the configuration.
      user@host# show

      For example:

      [edit protocols isis traceoptions]
user@host# show 
file isislog size 5m world-readable;
flag error;
flag lsp detail;
    3. Commit the configuration.
      user@host# commit
    4. View the contents of the file containing the detailed messages.
      user@host# run show log filename

      For example:

      user@host# run show log isislog
