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.

For each interface with IS-IS enabled, you can assign a cost or metric that is used in the link state calculation. To change the metric or cost of the interface, use the following commands. • Assign an IS-IS metric.
