Configuring the IS-IS Metric Style All IS-IS links or interfaces are associated with a cost that is used in the shortest path first (SPF) calculations. The possible cost varies depending on the metric style supported. If you configure narrow, transition, or narrow transition metric style, the cost can be a number between 0 and 63. If you configure wide or wide transition metric style, the cost can be a number between 0 and 16,777,215. Dell Networking OS supports five different metric styles: narrow, wide, transition, narrow transition, and wide transition. By default, Dell Networking OS generates and receives narrow metric values. Matrixes or costs higher than 63 are not supported. To accept or generate routes with a higher metric, you must change the metric style of the IS-IS process. For example, if you configure the metric as narrow, and a link state PDU (LSP) with wide metrics is received, the route is not installed. Dell Networking OS supports the following IS-IS metric styles. Table 45. Metric Styles Metric Style narrow wide transition narrow transition wide transition Characteristics Sends and accepts narrow or old TLVs (Type, Length, Value). Sends and accepts wide or new TLVs. Sends both wide (new) and narrow (old) TLVs. Sends narrow (old) TLVs and accepts both narrow (old) and wide (new) TLVs. Sends wide (new) TLVs and accepts both narrow (old) and wide (new) TLVs. Cost Range Supported on IS-IS Interfaces 0 to 63 0 to 16777215 0 to 63 0 to 63 0 to 16777215 To change the IS-IS metric style of the IS-IS process, use the following command. • Set the metric style for the IS-IS process. ROUTER ISIS mode metric-style {narrow [transition] | transition | wide [transition]} [level-1 | level-2] The default is narrow. The default is Level 1 and Level 2 (level-1-2) To view which metric types are generated and received, use the show isis protocol command in EXEC Privilege mode. The IS-IS matrixes settings are in bold.

Conﬁguring

the IS-IS Metric Style

All IS-IS links or interfaces are associated with a cost that is used in the shortest path

ﬁrst

(SPF) calculations. The possible cost varies

depending on the metric style supported.

If you

conﬁgure

narrow, transition, or narrow transition metric style, the cost can be a number between 0 and 63. If you

conﬁgure

wide or

wide transition metric style, the cost can be a number between 0 and 16,777,215. Dell Networking OS supports

ﬁve

diﬀerent

metric styles:

narrow, wide, transition, narrow transition, and wide transition.

By default, Dell Networking OS generates and receives narrow metric values. Matrixes or costs higher than 63 are not supported. To

accept or generate routes with a higher metric, you must change the metric style of the IS-IS process. For example, if you

conﬁgure

the

metric as narrow, and a link state PDU (LSP) with wide metrics is received, the route is not installed.

Dell Networking OS supports the following IS-IS metric styles.

Table 45. Metric Styles

Metric Style

Characteristics

Cost Range Supported on IS-IS Interfaces

narrow

Sends and accepts narrow or old TLVs

(Type, Length, Value).

0 to 63

wide

Sends and accepts wide or new TLVs.

0 to 16777215

transition

Sends both wide (new) and narrow (old)

TLVs.

0 to 63

narrow transition

Sends narrow (old) TLVs and accepts both

narrow (old) and wide (new) TLVs.

0 to 63

wide transition

Sends wide (new) TLVs and accepts both

narrow (old) and wide (new) TLVs.

0 to 16777215

To change the IS-IS metric style of the IS-IS process, use the following command.

•

Set the metric style for the IS-IS process.

ROUTER ISIS mode

metric-style {narrow [transition] | transition | wide [transition]} [level-1 | level-2]

The default is

narrow

The default is Level 1 and Level 2 (

level-1–2

)

To view which metric types are generated and received, use the

show isis protocol

command in EXEC Privilege mode. The IS-IS

matrixes settings are in bold.
