Example: Configuring IS-IS on Logical Systems Within the Same Router

This example shows how to configure an IS-IS network by using multiple logical systems that are running on a single physical router. The logical systems are connected by logical tunnel interfaces.

Requirements

Overview

This example shows an IS-IS configuration with three logical systems running on one physical router. Each logical system has its own routing table. The configuration enables the protocol on all logical tunnel interfaces that participate in the IS-IS domain.

Topology

Figure 1 shows the sample network.

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, copy and paste the commands into the CLI at the [edit] hierarchy level, and then enter commit from configuration mode.

Procedure

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 on logical systems:

  1. Configure the logical tunnel interface on Logical System LS1 connecting to Logical System LS2.

  2. Configure the logical tunnel interface on Logical System LS1 connecting to Logical System LS3.

  3. Configure the logical tunnel interface on Logical System LS2 connecting to Logical System LS1.

  4. Configure the logical tunnel interface on Logical System LS2 connecting to Logical System LS3.

  5. Configure the logical tunnel interface on Logical System LS3 connecting to Logical System LS2.

  6. Configure the logical tunnel interface on Logical System LS3 connecting to Logical System LS1.

  7. Configure the ISO address on the loopback interface for the three logical systems.

  8. Configure IS-IS on all the interfaces.

  9. If you are done configuring the device, commit the configuration.

Results

From configuration mode, confirm your configuration by issuing the show logical-systems command. If the output does not display the intended configuration, repeat the instructions in this example to correct the configuration.

Verification

Confirm that the configuration is working properly.

Verifying That the Logical Systems Are Up

Purpose

Make sure that the interfaces are properly configured.

Action

Verifying Connectivity Between the Logical Systems

Purpose

Make sure that the IS-IS adjacencies are established by checking the logical system routing entries and by pinging the logical systems.

Action

From LS1, Ping LS3

From LS3, Ping LS1

From LS1, Ping LS2

From LS2, Ping LS1
