Configuring basic IS-IS
This section describes the basic settings required for an IS-IS network to run.
Configuration prerequisites
Before the configuration, complete the following tasks:
•
Configure the link layer protocol.
•
Configure IP addresses for interfaces to ensure IP connectivity between neighboring nodes.
Enabling IS-IS
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Enable the IS-IS routing
process and enter its view.
isis [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
Not enabled by default.
3.
Assign a network entity title
(NET).
network-entity net
Not assigned by default.
4.
Return to system view.
quit
N/A
5.
Enter interface view.
interface interface-type
interface-number
N/A
6.
Enable an IS-IS process on the
interface.
isis enable [ process-id ]
Disabled by default.
Configuring the IS level and circuit level
If only one area is available, H3C recommends performing the following operations:
•
Configure the IS level of all routers as Level-1 or Level-2 rather than different levels because the
routers do not need to maintain two identical LSDBs.
•
Configure the IS level as Level-2 on all routers in an IP network for scalability.
For an interface of a Level-1 (or Level-2) router, the circuit level can only be Level-1 (or Level-2). For an
interface of a Level-1-2 router, the default circuit level is Level-1-2; if the router only needs to form Level-1 (or
Level-2) neighbor relationships, configure the circuit level for its interfaces as Level-1 (or Level-2) to limit
neighbor relationship establishment.
To configure the IS level and circuit level:
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Enter IS-IS view.
isis [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
N/A
3.
Specify the IS level.
is-level { level-1 | level-1-2 |
level-2 }
Optional.
The default is Level-1-2.
