Step Command

Remarks

4.

Specify the LSP
retransmission interval on a

P2P link.

isis timer retransmit seconds

Optional.
5 seconds by default.
Configure a proper LSP

retransmission interval to avoid
unnecessary retransmissions.

Specifying LSP lengths

IS-IS messages cannot be fragmented at the IP layer because they are directly encapsulated in frames.

Therefore, IS-IS routers in an area must send LSPs smaller than the smallest interface MTU in this area.
If the IS-IS routers have different interface MTUs, H3C recommends configuring the maximum size of
generated LSP packets to be smaller than the smallest interface MTU in this area. Otherwise, the routers

must dynamically adjust the LSP packet size to fit the smallest interface MTU, which takes time and affects

other services.
To specify LSP lengths:

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 maximum length
of generated Level-1 LSPs or

Level-2 LSPs.

lsp-length originate size [ level-1 | level-2 ]

Optional.
1497 bytes by default.

4.

Specify the maximum length
of received LSPs.

lsp-length receive size

Optional.
1497 bytes by default.

Enabling LSP flash flooding

Changed LSPs can trigger SPF recalculation. To advertise the changed LSPs before the router recalculates

routes for faster network convergence, enable LSP flash flooding.
To enable LSP flash flooding:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

2.

Enter IS-IS view.

isis [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]

N/A

3.

Enable LSP flash

flooding.

flash-flood [ flood-count flooding-count |
max-timer-interval flooding-interval | [ level-1 |
level-2 ] ] *

Not enabled by
default.

Enabling LSP fragment extension

After LSP fragment extension is enabled for an IS-IS process, the MTUs of all the interfaces running the

IS-IS process must not be less than 512; otherwise, LSP fragment extension will not take effect.
At least one virtual system must be configured for the router to generate extended LSP fragments. An IS-IS

process allows a maximum of 50 virtual systems.
To enable LSP fragment extension:
