Enabling and Configuring IS-IS for IPv6 Routing

When enabling IS-IS IPv6, you must create an IS-IS IPv6 routing process and assign it to specific interfaces rather than to networks. You can specify only a single IS-IS process per router.

To enable IS-IS routing, enter Global Configuration mode, and follow this procedure:

  1. Access Global Configuration mode and specify an IPv6 license.
  2. host1(config)#license ipv6 license-value
    
    
    
  3. Configure an IP address on the router to serve as the router ID.
  4. host1(config)#interface loopback0
    
    host1(config-if)#ip address 10.6.5.4/32
    
    
    
  5. Configure the lower-layer interfaces over which the IPv6 traffic flows.
  6. host1(config-if)#interface fastEthernet 1/0
    
    
    
  7. Configure an IPv6 address on the interface.
  8. host1(config-if)#ipv6 address 2008::1/48
    
    
    
  9. Specify the IS-IS IPv6 process to apply to the interface. Use the same tag name that you specify with the router isis command for the VR.
  10. host1(config-if)#ipv6 router isis floor12
    
    
    

Repeat Steps 35 for all desired IPv6 interfaces.

  1. Specify an IS-IS process globally for the VR. Use the same tag name that you specify with the ipv6 router isis command on the interface.
  2. host1(config)#router isis floor12 
    
    
    
  3. Configure a Network Entity Title (NET) for the routing process that specifies the ISO network address.
  4. host1(config-router)#net 
    47.0010.0000.0000.0000.0001.0001.1111.1111.1111.00 
    
    
    
  5. Create the IS-IS IPv6 address family for the interface.
  6. host1(config-router)#address-family ipv6 unicast
    
    
    
  7. Configure any of the following desired IS-IS options for the address family: redistributing routes from other protocols, redistributing IS-IS IPv6 routes between levels, distributing level 2 routing information to level 1 routers throughout the IS-IS routing domain, summarizing IPv6 routes, applying a route map to modify routes before they are installed in the routing table,
  8. host1(config-router-af)#redistribute ospf level-1-2
    
    host1(config-router-af)#redistribute isis level-2 into level-1
    
    host1(config-router-af)#distribute-domain-wide 
    
    host1(config-router-af)#summary-prefix 2001:2000::0/8 level-1 metric 10 tag 
    100
    
    host1(config-router-af)#table-map ospfFilter
    
    
    
  9. Exit the IS-IS IPv6 address family.
  10. host1(config-router-af)#exit-address-family
    
    
    

    NOTE: Enabling IPv6 for the interface also enables IPv4 for that interface. However, this interface does not participate in IS-IS IPv4 routing.
