Example: Configuring IS-IS Flood Group

Requirements

This example uses the following hardware and software components:

  • Four MX Series routers.

  • Junos OS Release 16.2 or future release.

Before you begin:

  1. Configure IS-IS routing protocol on the routers.

  2. Configure IS-IS interfaces with specific area IDs to modify the flood behavior as per your requirements.

Overview

Starting with Junos OS Release 16.2, IS-IS has support for flood-group.

Topology

In this topology, flood-group is configured on router R2.

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.

R1

R2

R3

R4

Note:

1. commit after every configuration.

2. Following is the output before configuring flood-group on R2. You will see the link-state packets (LSPs) of R1, R2, R3 and R4.

From operational mode, run the show isis database command on router R1.

Procedure

Step-by-Step Procedure

The following example requires that you navigate various levels in the configuration hierarchy. For information about navigating the CLI, see Using the CLI Editor in Configuration Mode in the Junos OS CLI User Guide.

Flood-group functionality check:

  1. Deactivate protocol IS-IS on routers R1 and R2

  2. Configure flood-group on interface of router R2: set protocol isis interface interface flood-group flood-group-area-ID

  3. Activate protocol IS-IS on routers R1 and R2 and wait until the adjacency comes up.

Verification

Verifying the IS-IS Database

Purpose

Verify IS-IS database.

Action

Note:

Following is the output after configuring flood-group on R2. show isis database on router R1 will show LSPs from router R1 and router R2 only. flood-group is applicable to non self-originated LSPs only.

From operational mode, run the show isis database command on router R1.
