Introduction

This document provides IS-IS configuration examples.

Prerequisites

The configuration examples in this document were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

This document assumes that you have basic knowledge of IS-IS.

Example: Configuring IS-IS

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, the company's headquarters and the branch run IS-IS. The partner runs OSPF.

Configure the switches to meet the following requirements:

·     The marketing department can reach the finance department, the branch, and the partner.

·     The finance department and the branch cannot reach each other, and the branch does not have a route to the finance department.

·     When the IS-IS process on Switch C restarts, the communication is not interrupted.

Figure 1 Network diagram

 

Analysis

To allow communication between the marketing department and the finance department, configure Switch A and Switch B in Area 10 as Level-1 routers.

To allow communication between the marketing department and the partner, configure route redistribution between IS-IS and OSPF on Switch D.

To ensure that the branch does not have a route to the finance department, configure Switch C to use a prefix list to advertise only network 10.100.1.0/24 to Level-2.

To ensure that the communication is not interrupted when the IS-IS process on Switch C restarts, enable IS-IS Graceful Restart (GR) on Switch C.

Applicable hardware and software versions

The following matrix shows the hardware and software versions to which this configuration example is applicable:

 

Hardware	Software version
S6520X-HI switch series S6520X-EI switch series	Supported in Release 1110P01
S6520X-SI switch series S6520-SI switch series S5000-EI switch series MS4600 switch series	Supported in Release 1110P01

 

Restrictions and guidelines

To avoid blackhole routes, do not change the network topology during the IS-IS GR process.
