IS-IS CLI levels 28 Route calculation and selection The Designated IS uses a Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm to calculate paths to destination ISs and ESs. The SPF algorithm uses Link State PDUs (LSPDUs) received from other ISs as input, and creates the paths as output. After calculating the paths, the Designated IS then selects the best paths and places them in the IS-IS route table. The Designated IS uses the following process to select the best paths. 1. Prefer the Level-1 path over the Level-2 path. 2. If there is no Level-1 path, prefer the internal Level-2 path over the external Level-2 path. 3. If there is still more than one path, prefer the path with the lowest metric. 4. If there is more than one path with the lowest metric, load share among the paths. After selecting the best path to a destination, the software places the path in the IS-IS route table. IS-IS CLI levels The CLI includes various levels of commands for IS-IS. Figure 119 diagrams these levels. FIGURE 119 IS-IS CLI levels router isis Global commands for IS-IS and all address families IPv6 address-family level unicast sub-family configure terminal IPv4 address-family level unicast sub-family isis interface commands The IS-IS CLI levels are as follows: • A global level for the configuration of the IS-IS protocol. At this level, all IS-IS configurations at this level apply to IPv4 and IPv6. You enter this layer using the router isis command. • Under the global level, you specify an address family. Address families to separate the IS-IS configurations for IPv4 and IPv6. You enter configurations that are for a specific You enter this level by entering the address-family command at the router isis level. • Under the address family level, you select a sub-address family, which is the type of routes for the configuration. For IS-IS, you specify unicast. NOTE IS-IS IPv6 is currently not supported. • An interface level. Global configuration level You enter the global configuration level of ISIS by entering the following command. BigIron RX Series Configuration Guide 861 53-1001986-01

IS-IS CLI levels

Route calculation and selection

The Designated IS uses a

Shortest Path First (SPF)

algorithm to calculate paths to destination ISs

and ESs. The SPF algorithm uses Link State PDUs (LSPDUs) received from other ISs as input, and

creates the paths as output.

After calculating the paths, the Designated IS then selects the best paths and places them in the

IS-IS route table. The Designated IS uses the following process to select the best paths.

Prefer the Level-1 path over the Level-2 path.

If there is no Level-1 path, prefer the internal Level-2 path over the external Level-2 path.

If there is still more than one path, prefer the path with the lowest metric.

If there is more than one path with the lowest metric, load share among the paths.

After selecting the best path to a destination, the software places the path in the IS-IS route table.

IS-IS CLI levels

The CLI includes various levels of commands for IS-IS.

Figure 119

diagrams these levels.

FIGURE 119

IS-IS CLI levels

The IS-IS CLI levels are as follows:

•

A global level for the configuration of the IS-IS protocol. At this level, all IS-IS configurations at

this level apply to IPv4 and IPv6. You enter this layer using the

router isis

command.

•

Under the global level, you specify an address family. Address families to separate the IS-IS

configurations for IPv4 and IPv6. You enter configurations that are for a specific You enter

this level by entering the

address-family

command at the router isis level.

•

Under the address family level, you select a sub-address family, which is the type of routes

for the configuration. For IS-IS, you specify

unicast

NOTE

IS-IS IPv6 is currently not supported.

•

An interface level.

Global configuration level

You enter the global configuration level of ISIS by entering the following command.
