IS-IS

Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) intra-domain routing information exchange protocol is designed by the International Organization for Standardization to support connectionless networking. This protocol is a dynamic routing protocol.

IS-IS introduction

IS-IS is a link-state protocol, which uses the Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm. IS-IS and the OSPF protocol are similar in many aspects. As an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), IS-IS runs inside an Autonomous System (AS).

To enable IS-IS, you must instantiate an IS-IS routing instance and assign it to an interface. Arista IS-IS support includes IS-IS segment routing and IS-IS graceful restart.

IS-IS Segment Routing

Segment Routing (SR) provides a mechanism to simplify the definition of end-to-end paths within IGP topologies by encoding paths as sequences of topological sub-paths, called segments. The IS-IS protocol advertises these segments in four different ways: node segments, prefix segments, proxy-node segments, and adjacency segments.

Node segments represent a node in an IGP topology. A proxy segment are generally associated with an IP(v6) address received from a router that does not support IS-IS SR. Prefix segments represent an ECMP-aware shortest path to a prefix (or a node), as per the state of the IGP topology. Adjacency segments represent a hop over a specific adjacency between two nodes in IGP.

TI-LFA FRR using IS-IS Segment-Routing

Topology Independent Fast Reroute, or TI-LFA, uses IS-IS SR to build loop-free alternate paths along the post-convergence path. These loop-free alternates provide fast convergence in the range of sub-50 ms.

This section describes TI-LFA FRR using II-IS SR, including configuration instructions and command descriptions. Topics covered by this chapter include:

The (Point of Local Repair (PLR)- the router where TI-LFA is configured) PLR switches to these loop-free alternate backup paths in the event of a link down (link-protection) or BFD neighbor down (node-protection) event, protecting traffic destined to IS-IS SR node segments, adjacency segments, and anycast segments while the IGP converges and the post-convergence paths are computed. Anycast segment protection is restricted to those segments which are attached to prefixes with host mask (/32 for V4 address and /128 for v6 address).

Note: Unlike node segments, anycast segments do not have the ‘N’ flag set described in section 2.1.1.2 of RFC8667.
The following enhancements are available by release:
  • eos Release 4.22.1F adds support for TI-LFA backup paths that protect IS-IS SR labeled traffic corresponding to a node segment or adjacency segment on a transit router.
  • eos Release 4.23.1F adds support for TI-LFA backup paths that protect IS-IS SR tunnels.
  • eos Release 4.24.1 adds support for protecting IS-IS SR labeled traffic corresponding to anycast segments.
  • eos Release 4.24.2F adds support for calculating TI-LFA backup paths that exclude the SRLG configured on the failing link.

Backup paths are only installed for IS-IS SR labeled routes and tunnels corresponding to node segments, adjacency segments, and anycast segments. When requesting node-protection, and no node-protecting LFAs are available, a link-protecting LFA is computed instead. TI-LFA FRR using IS-IS Segment-Routing is available with the multi-agent routing protocol model and the ribd routing protocol model.

Other traffic that resolves over IS-IS SR tunnels, such as LDP pseudowires, BGP LU tunnels, BGP IP routes, L2 EVPN, MPLS L3 VPN, and so on, are also protected by the TI-LFA tunnel that protects the resolving IS-IS SR tunnel.

Limitations

  • Backup paths are not computed for prefix segments that do not have a host mask (/32 for v4 and /128 for v6).
  • When TI-LFA is configured, the number of anycast segments generated by a node cannot exceed 10.
  • Computing TI-LFA backup paths for proxy node segments is not supported.
  • Backup paths are not computed for node segments corresponding to multi-homed prefixes. The multi-homing could be the result of them being anycast node segments, loopback interfaces on different routers advertising SIDs for the same prefix, node segments leaked between levels, and thus being seen as originated from multiple L1-L2 routers.
  • Backup paths are only computed for segments that are non-ECMP.
  • Only IS-IS interfaces that are using the point-to-point network type are eligible for protection.
  • Link/node protection is only supported in the default VRF owing to the lack of non-default VRF support for IS-IS segment-routing.
  • Backup paths are computed in the same IS-IS level topology as the primary path.
  • Even with IS-IS GR configured, SSU, SSO, agent restart are not hitless events for IS-IS SR LFIB routes or tunnels being protected by backup paths.

IS-IS Graceful Restart

IS-IS Graceful Restart (GR) is a mechanism to prevent routing protocol re-convergence during a processor switchover or device downtime. Normally, when a router restarts, all the neighboring routers associated with that router detect that the device has gone down and remove routes from that neighbor. When the router restarts, the session is re-established and data transfer continues. During the restart, the removal and re-insertion of routes will result in data loss. This can be prevented by configuring graceful restart on the device.

When IS-IS is used as the interior gateway protocol (IGP), the following eos features require nonstop forwarding (NSF) and support for the graceful restart from IS-IS:
  • Smart Software Upgrade (SSU).
  • planned Stateful SwitchOver (SSO) initiated by an operator for maintenance, or unplanned SSO due to failures on the active supervisor.
  • RIB agent restart due to software failures.

With IS-IS Graceful Restart (GR) configured, a redundancy switchover from active to standby supervisor, or SSU, or restart of the IS-IS software (the RIB agent) should be a hitless event if the GR completes successfully. Neighboring routers will continue to forward traffic to the restarting router and traffic forwarding through the restarting router continues without loss. If GR is successful, the failure of a router should be completely transparent to network applications.

ISIS Graceful Restart (GR) is compatible with the following platforms:
  • IS-IS GR with unplanned software restart is supported on all platforms.
  • IS-IS GR with SSO is supported on modular dual-supervisor platforms.
  • IS-IS GR with SSU is supported on platforms that support SSU.

IS-IS Dynamic Flooding

Dynamic Flooding allows IS-IS to scale to large, dense topologies such as Leaf-Spine topologies. In such topologies, legacy IS-IS can exhibit a congestive collapse due to the control plane load created by excessively redundant flooding.

The concept in Dynamic Flooding is to dynamically compute a restricted topology for flooding (the flooding topology). Since this can be much smaller than the full physical topology, this can reduce the redundancy seen by each node, thereby reducing the control plane load and avoiding a congestive collapse.

To do this, first select one node within the IS-IS area as the area leader. Leverage the Designated Intermediate System (DIS) election algorithm for this, except instead of applying it to the neighbors on an interface, compute it across all of the nodes within the area.

The area leader is responsible for computing the flooding topology. This is distributed to the other nodes in the area through the Area System IDs TLV and the Flooding Path TLV.

All nodes within the area then flood only on the flooding topology.

Figure 1. Flooding Topology

A flooding topology on a dense graph. The flooding topology is shown by the solid lines. Dotted lines indicate non-flooding links.

In a dense topology, this can reduce the amount of flooding by an order of magnitude or more, with a resulting increase in scalability.

IS-IS Configuration

Enabling IS-IS

Enabling IS-IS Globally and Specifying an IS-IS Instance

The switch supports only one IS-IS routing instance per VRF. The routing instance uniquely identifies the switch to other devices. IS-IS configuration commands apply globally to the IS-IS instance.

The switch must be in router IS-IS configuration mode to run IS-IS configuration commands. The router isis command places the switch in router IS-IS configuration mode.

Example

These commands create an IS-IS routing instance named Osiris in the default VRF and place the switch in IS-IS configuration mode for that instance.
switch(config)# router isis Osiris
switch(config-router-isis)#

Configuring the Network Entity Title (NET)

After creating an IS-IS routing instance, configure the Network Entity Title (NET) with the net command. The NET defines the IS-IS area address and the system ID of the device.

Example

These commands configure the NET by specifying the IS-IS area address and the system ID of the device.
switch(config)# router isis Osiris
switch(config-router-isis)# net 49.0001.1010.1040.1030.00

Setting the Address Family Configuration

The address-family command enables the address families that IS-IS will route and places the switch in the configuration mode for that address family. The address families supported are IPv4 unicast and IPv6 unicast.

Example

These commands enable and enter the address family mode for IPv4 unicast.
switch(config)# router isis Osiris
switch(config-router-isis)# address-family ipv4 unicast 
switch(config-router-isis-af)#

Enabling IS-IS on a Specified Interface

After enabling IS-IS globally, enable it on an interface with the isis enable command.

Example

These commands enable IS-IS on interface ethernet 4.
switch(config-router-isis)# interface ethernet 4
switch(config-if-Eth4)#isis enable Osiris

Configuring IS-IS Optional Global Parameters

Setting the Router Type

The is-type command sets the routing level for an IS-IS instance.

Example

These commands specify Level-2 for the IS-IS instance.
switch(config)# router isis Osiris
switch(config-router-isis)# is-type level-2
switch(config-router-isis)#

Configuring Redistribution of Connected or Static Non-ISIS Routes

The redistribute (IS-IS) command configures redistribution of connected or static non-ISIS routes.

Example

These commands redistribute connected routes into the IS-IS domain.
switch(config)# router isis Osiris
switch(config-router-isis)# redistribute connected
switch(config-router-isis)#

Configuring Redistribution of Connected or Static Non-ISIS Routes into Level-1 or Level-2

Non-ISIS routes can be exported into Level-1, Level-2, or both using a route map. By default, the routes are exported only to Level-2; to export to Level-1 or to both levels, configure the route map using the set isis level command. The Level-1 or Level-2 routes can also be filtered using the route maps match statement. The route map is then used when redistributing routes in ISIS with the redistribute (IS-IS) command.

Use the show isis database detail command to make sure that the route shows up in the exported level.

Examples
  • The following commands configure a route map called rm to set the IS-IS level to Level-1, then use it to redistribute connected routes.
    switch(config)# route-map rm
    switch(config-route-map-rm)# set isis level level-1
    switch(config-route-map-rm)# router isis osiris
    switch(config-router-isis)# redistribute connected route-map rm
    switch(config-router-isis)#
  • The following command displays IS-IS database information and confirms that the level has been set to Level-1.
    switch# show isis database detail
    ISIS Instance: inst1 VRF: default
     ISIS Level 1 Link State Database
     LSPID Seq Num Cksum Life IS Flags
     1111.1111.1001.00-00 10 63306 751 L2 <>
     NLPID: 0xCC(IPv4) 0x8E(IPv6)
     Area address: 49.0001
    <-------OUTPUT OMITTED FROM EXAMPLE-------->

Configuring Redistribution of BGP Routes into ISIS

The redistribute bgp route-map command redistributes the BGP routes from the specified route map into IS-IS. Only one route map can be specified; reissuing the command overrides any previous configuration.

The no redistribute bgp and default redistribute bgp commands disable BGP route redistribution from the specified domain by removing the redistribute bgp statement from running-config.

The command is available in both router IS-IS configuration mode and the address-family submode. The command is rejected if configured in both modes at the same time. Issuing the no or default command in router IS-IS configuration mode has no effect on redistribution configured in the address-family submode.

Note: If the command is configured in an address-family submode, it only redistributes routes from that address family. If it is configured in router-ISIS mode, it applies to all enabled address families.
Examples
  • These commands redistribute IPv4 BGP routes from the route map called bgp-to-isis-v4 into the ISIS domain.
    switch(config)# router isis 1
    switch(config-router-isis)# address-family ipv4
    switch(config-router-isis-af)# redistribute bgp route-map bgp-to-isis-v4
    switch(config-router-isis-af)#
  • These commands redistribute all BGP routes from the route map bgp-to-isis into ISIS.
    switch(config)# router isis 1
    switch(config-router-isis)# redistribute bgp route-map bgp-to-isis

Setting the Overload Bit

The overload bit is set in link state packets (LSPs) to signal that the switch is not available for forwarding transit traffic (for instance, during startup or when the switch is being taken down for maintenance). To set the overload bit manually, use the set-overload-bit command without the on-startup option. To configure the switch to set the overload bit after a reboot, allowing routing protocols to converge before the switch is used for forwarding traffic, use the set-overload-bit command with the on-startup option. The overload bit will remain set set for the interval specified after startup.
Note: When using the on-startup option, the overload bit will remain set in LSPs until the IS-IS agent has been up for the configured interval.If the configured on-startup time is less than the actual IS-IS agent uptime, the command will be applied immediately.

In scenarios when Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routes are resolved using an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), if the transit router reboots and becomes available again, the IGP will consider the transit router as an optimal path again. After rebooting, the transit router will blackhole traffic until the transit router learns the external destination reachability information via BGP.

Examples
  • These commands configure the switch to set the overload bit in LSPs sent for 120 seconds after startup.

    switch(config)# router isis Osiris
    switch(config-router-isis)# set-overload-bit on-startup 120 
    switch(config-router-isis)#
  • These commands configure the overload bit until BGP converges. If BGP fails to converge within the set timeout default period, then the overload bit gets cleared.
    switch(config)# router isis Osiris
    switch(config-router-isis)# set-overload-bit on-startup wait-for-bgp
    switch(config-router-isis)# set-overload-bit on-startup wait-for-bgp timeout 750
    switch(config-router-isis)#

Configuring IS-IS MD5 Authentication

To configure authentication for the IS-IS instance causing LSPs, CSNPs and PSNPs to be authenticated, use the authentication mode and authentication key commands. To configure authentication on the interface, causing IS-IS Hellos to be authenticated, use the isis authentication mode and isis authentication key commands on the interface.

Two forms of authentication are supported by the IS-IS routing protocol: Clear-text authentication and MD5 authentication. The difference between the two forms of authentication is in the level of security provided. In the case of clear-text authentication, the password is specified as text in the authentication TLV, making it possible for an attacker to break authentication by sniffing and capturing IS-IS PDUs on the network. Arista recommends using the MD5 authentication.

HMAC MD5 authentication provides much stronger authentication by computing the message digest (on the IS-IS PDU contents) using the secret key to produce a hashed message authentication code (HMAC). Different modes of authentication can be specified on the interface, which authenticates IIH PDUs (IS-IS hello PDUs), and globally in the router IS-IS mode, in which the LSPs, CSNPs and PSNPs are authenticated. Area-wide and domain-wide authentication can be specified for L1 and L2 routers respectively.

Example
  • These commands configure authentication for the IS-IS instance causing LSPs, CSNPs and PSNPs to be authenticated.
    switch(config)# router isis 1
    switch(config-router-isis)# authentication mode md5
    switch(config-router-isis)# authentication key secret
    switch(config-router-isis)#
  • These commands configure authentication on the interface causing IS-IS hellos to be authenticated.
    switch(config)# interface Ethernet 3/6
    switch(config-if-Et3/6)# isis authentication mode text
    switch(config-if-Et3/6)# isis authentication key 7 cAm28+9a/xPi04o7hjd8Jw==
    switch(config-if-Et3/6)#

To maximize interoperability, Arista recommends using the same key in both interface mode and in the router isis mode.

Setting the SPF Interval

The SPF timer interval defines the maximum interval between two successive SPF calculations. IS-IS runs SPF calculations following a change in the network topology or the link-state database. The spf-interval command defines the following intervals:
  • Maximum wait interval: The maximum time a switch will wait before running an SPF after a topology change.
  • Initial wait interval: In a network that has been stable throughout the hold interval, this interval defines the initial wait time of a switch for performing an SPF calculation after a topology change. As several link-state updates must be sent after a topology change, the initial wait interval allows the network to settle before a switch computes an SPF. If the topology changes during an initial wait interval, an SPF is calculated after the initial wait interval expires and no further changes are made to throttle timers.
  • Hold time: This interval delays SPF calculations during network instability. If the topology changes during a hold time, an SPF is computed when the hold time expires. Subsequent hold intervals are doubled up to the configured maximum wait interval for continuous topology changes. If the next topology change occurs after the hold interval expires, the hold interval is reset to its configured value and the SPF is computed after the initial wait interval.
    Note: eos does not support configuring topology-specific SPF timers in multi-topology deployments and IS-IS level-specific SPF timers.

Example

This command configures maximum wait interval, initial wait interval, and hold time to 10 seconds, 2000 ms, and 1000 ms respectively.

switch(config)# router isis inst1
switch(config-router-isis)# spf-interval 10 2000 1000

Configuring IS-IS Segment Routing Global Adjacency-SID

IS-IS Segment Routing (SR) supports global adjacency SIDs for point-to-point interfaces. The adjacency SID is configured as an index using the adjacency-segment command.

Global adjacency segments are represented using an index instead of actual MPLS labels. The index is an offset into the Segment Routing Global Block (SRGB) advertised by a router, resulting in an MPLS label. The default value of SRGB in eos is Base: 900000 and Size: 65536.

The same index may be used to configure multiple interfaces so that MPLS forms an ECMP group, and the same index may be applied to IPv4 and IPv6 adjacencies.

Example

In this example, the global adjacency is configured on a point-to-point interface ethernet Et1, with an index value 10.
switch(config-if-Et1)# adjacency-segment ipv4 p2p index 10 global
Displaying Adjacency SID Information

The command show isis segment-routing adjacency-segments displays the global adjacency SID value and other related information.

Examples
  • In this example an interface is configured as follows:
    interface ethernet1
     ip address 1.1.1.1/24
     ipv6 address 1000::1/64
     isis enable isis1
     isis network point-to-point
     adjacency-segment ipv4 p2p index 1 global
     adjacency-segment ipv6 p2p index 2 global
  • The show output for the above interface configuration:
    switch# show isis segment-routing adjacency-segments
    
    System ID: 1000.0000.0002                       Instance: isis1

Enabling Logging for Peer Changes

The log-adjacency-changes (IS-IS) command configures the switch to send syslog messages when it detects IS-IS neighbor adjacency state changes.

Example

These commands configure the switch to send a Syslog message when a neighbor goes up or down.
switch(config)# router isis Osiris
switch(config-router-isis)# log-adjacency-changes
switch(config-router-isis)#

Setting the IS-IS hostname

The is-hostname command configures the use of a human-readable string to represent the symbolic name of an IS-IS router. It also changes the output of IS-IS show commands, to show the IS-IS hostname in place of system IDs if the corresponding IS-IS hostname is known. However, syslogs still use IS-IS system IDs and not the IS-IS hostname.

By default if theres a hostname configured on the switch, it is used as the IS-IS hostname. It is also possible to deconfigure an assigned hostname for IS-IS using the no is-hostname command. When the IS-IS hostname is removed, the switch goes back to using the switchs hostname as the IS-IS hostname.

Examples
  • These commands configure the IS-IS hostname to the symbolic name ishost1 for the IS-IS router.
    switch(config)# router isis inst1
    switch(config-router-isis)# is-hostname ishost1
    switch(config-router-isis)#
  • These commands unconfigure the IS-IS hostname of the symbolic name ishost1 for the IS-IS router.
    switch(config)# router isis inst1
    switch(config-router-isis)# no is-hostname ishost1
    switch(config-router-isis)#

Configuring IS-IS Multi-Topology

The multi-topology command configures IS-IS Multi-Topology (MT) support (disabled by default), enabling an IS-IS router to compute a separate topology for IPv4 and IPv6 links in the network. With MT configured, not all the links in a network need to support both IPv4 and IPv6. Some can support IPv4 or IPv6 individually. The IPv4 SPF will install IPv4 routes using the IPv4 topology, and similarly, the IPv6 SPF will install IPv6 routes using the IPv6 topology. Without MT support, all links in an IS-IS network need to support the same set of address families.

When MT is enabled, and each link has a separate IPv4 metric and IPv6 metric.

The isis ipv6 metric command configures the IPv6 metric.

The isis multi-topology command configures the IPv4 or IPv6 address family individually on an interface with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

The address families that are enabled on an interface are based on the global address families enabled in router IS-IS configuration mode, and the addresses configured on the interface. To enable a particular address family on an interface, it needs to have an address configured in that address family. In the case where both IPv4 and IPv6 address families are enabled in router IS-IS configuration mode, then if an interface has IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, both IPv4 and IPv6 address families are enabled on that interface. In the case of an interface with only an IPv4 address family, the IPv4 address family is enabled on that interface. Where an interface only has an IPv6 address family, the IPv6 address family is enabled on that interface. Finally, where only the IPv6 address family is enabled in router IS-IS config mode and MT is enabled, then the IPv6 address family is enabled on all interfaces which have an IPv6 address configured.

Examples
  • These commands configure MT for the IS-IS router.
    switch(config)# router isis 1
    switch(config-router-isis)# address-family ipv6 unicast
    switch(config-router-isis-af)# multi-topology
    switch(config-router-isis-af)#
  • These commands unconfigure MT for the IS-IS router.
    switch(config)# router isis 1
    switch(config-router-isis)# address-family ipv6 unicast
    switch(config-router-isis-af)# no multi-topology
    switch(config-router-isis-af)#
  • These commands configure the IPv6 metric.
    switch(config)# interface Ethernet 5/6
    switch(config-if-Et5/6)# isis ipv6 metric 30
    switch(config-if-Et5/6)#
  • These commands configure the IPv4 address family on an interface with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
    switch(config)# interface Ethernet1
    switch(config-if-Et1)# isis multi-topology address-family ipv4 unicast
    switch(config-if-Et1)#
  • These commands configure the IPv6 address family on an interface with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
    switch(config)# interface Ethernet1
    switch(config-if-Et1)# isis multi-topology address-family ipv6 unicast
    switch(config-if-Et1)#
  • These commands configure both the IPv4 and IPv6 address families on an interface.
    switch(config)# interface Ethernet1
    switch(config-if-Et1)# no isis multi-topology address-family unicast
    switch(config-if-Et1)#

Configuring Optional IS-IS Interface Parameters

Setting the Hello Packet Interval

The isis hello-interval command sets the time interval between the hello packets that maintain an IS-IS adjacency.

Example

These commands configure a hello interval of 60 seconds for interface ethernet 4.
switch(config)# interface ethernet 4
switch(config-if-Et4)# isis hello-interval 60 
switch(config-if-Et4)#

Configuring the Hello Multiplier for the Interface

The switch maintains the adjacency by sending/receiving hello packets. When receiving no hello packets from the peer within a time interval, the local switch considers the neighbors invalid.

The isis hello-multiplier command calculates the hold time announced in hello packets by multiplying this number with the configured isis hello-interval.

Example

  • These commands configure a hello multiplier of 5 for interface ethernet 4.
    switch(config)# interface ethernet 4
    switch(config-if-Et4)# isis hello-interval 60
    switch(config-if-Et4)# isis hello-multiplier 5
    switch(config-if-Et4)#

Configuring the IS-IS Metric

The isis metric command sets the cost for sending information over a specific interface. At present only wide metrics are supported.

Example

These commands configure a metric cost of 30 for sending information over interface ethernet 5.

switch(config)# interface ethernet 5
switch(config-if-Et5)# isis metric 30
switch(config-if-Et5)#

Setting the LSP Transmission Interval

The isis lsp tx interval command configures the minimum interval between successive LSP transmissions on an interface.

Example

This command sets the LSP transmission interval on interface interface ethernet 5 to 50 milliseconds.
switch(config)# interface ethernet 5
switch(config-if-Et5)# isis lsp tx interval 50
switch(config-if-Et5)#

Setting the IS-IS Priority

The isis priority command determines which device will be the Designated Intermediate System (DIS). The device with the highest priority on the LAN will become the DIS.

Example

These commands configure a device priority of 60 on interface interface ethernet 5.
switch(config)# interface ethernet 5
switch(config-if-Et5)# isis priority 60
switch(config-if-Et5)#

Configuring an Interface as Passive

A passive IS-IS interface does not send or receive IS-IS packets and will not form adjacencies, but is still included in LSP advertisements, making its IP address visible to the IS-IS domain.To configure an IS-IS interface as passive, use the isis passive command in interface configuration mode or the passive (IS-IS) command in router IS-IS configuration mode.

Examples
  • These commands configure interface ethernet 10 as a passive interface.
    switch(config)# interface ethernet 10
    switch(config-if-Etl0)# isis passive
    switch(config-if-Etl0)#
  • These commands also configure interface ethernet 10 as a passive interface.
    switch(config)# router isis Osiris
    switch(config-router-isis)# passive ethernet 10
    switch(config-router-isis)#

Configuring BFD support for IS-IS for IPv4

The isis bfd and bfd all-interfaces commands configure Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD). BFD is supported for both IS-IS IPv4 and IPv6 routes.

Examples
  • These commands enable BFD (for the IPv4 address family) for all the interfaces on which IS-IS is enabled. By default, BFD is disabled on all interfaces.
    switch(config)# router isis 1
    switch(config-router-isis)# address-family ipv4
    switch(config-router-af)# bfd all-interfaces
    switch(config-router-af)#
  • These commands enable BFD on an IS-IS interface.
    switch(config)# interface Ethernet 5/6
    switch(config-if-Et5/6)# isis bfd
    switch(config-if-Et5/6)#

Configuring IS-IS Segment Routing

Global IS-IS Segment Routing (IS-IS SR) commands are accessed in Segment-Routing MPLS mode, under the router IS-IS configuration mode. Interface-specific IS-IS SR commands are accessed in interface configuration mode.

Starting the MPLS Agent

The Routing Information Base (RIB) or IS-IS agent provides IS-IS segment routing, but the actual installation of LFIB entries pertaining to SR information provided by IS-IS is handled by the MPLS agent in eos, which is disabled by default. To enable the MPLS agent, use the following commands.

Note: IP(v6) routing must be enabled as a prerequisite.

Example

The following commands enable IP routing and the MPLS agent on the switch.
switch(config)# ip routing
switch(config)# mpls ip
switch(config)#

Enabling IS-IS SR

By default, IS-IS SR is disabled. You must enable it explicitly by issuing the no form of the shutdown (IS-IS SR) command in Segment-Routing MPLS configuration mode.

Example

The following commands enable IS-IS SR.
switch(config)#router isis instance1
switch(config-router-isis)#segment-routing mpls
switch(config-router-isis-sr-mpls)#no shutdown
switch(config-router-isis-sr-mpls)#

Disabling IS-IS Segment Routing

To administratively disable IS-IS SR, issue the shutdown (IS-IS SR) command in Segment-Routing MPLS configuration mode. To disable isis sr and delete all isis sr configuration, issue the no segment-routing mpls command in router isis configuration mode.

Example

  • The following commands administratively disable router isis.
    switch(config)# router isis instance1
    switch(config-router-isis)# segment-routing mpls
    switch(config-router-isis-sr-mpls)# shutdown
    switch(config-router-isis-sr-mpls)#
  • The following commands disable router isis and delete all router isis configuration.
    switch(config)# router isis instance1
    switch(config-router-isis)# no segment-routing mpls
    switch(config-router-isis)#

SRGB (Segment Routing Global Range)

The global segments such as Prefix-SID, Node-SID, Proxy-node-SID are represented using indices of actual MPLS labels. These indices are offset on the SRGB advertised by a router to derive the respective MPLS label. The default value of SRGB in eos is Base: 900000, Size: 65536. In other words, the labels that any global segment could represent is between 900000-965535. The MPLS label range is categorized and reserved into pools based on the applications using these labels. The default values of label ranges in these pools are:

  • Dynamic Global Range--(100000) (262144)
  • IS-IS SR Global Range -- (900000) (65536)
  • Static Global Range -- (16) (99984)
Note: SRGB can be configured to fit in different MPLS ranges as long as it does not fall under an MPLS range already assigned for usage by other applications.
Example
switch(config)# mpls label range isis-sr 900000 65536

IS-IS Maximum LSP Size

The IS-IS maximum LSP size provides the ability to configure the maximum LSP size that the IS-IS protocol accepts and sends.The default value of LSP size is 9000. The lsp size maximum command configures maximum size of an LSP that is sent or received. The default LSP maximum size is 9000. The minimum value is 512.

Example
switch(config)# lsp size maximum 400
The no lsp size maximum and default lsp size maximum commands remove the specified lsp size maximum command from running-config.
switch(config)# no lsp size maximum
switch(config)# default lsp size maximum

Configuring Node-SID

Node segments are indices associated with routers within an IS-IS SR domain. This is done by associating node-segments with prefix mask length /32 (IPV4) or /128 (IPV6) addresses. Node segments are carried as sub-TLVs (type-length-value) in IP reachability TLVs for the prefixes with which these segments are associated. Node segments are configured on IS-IS enabled Loop-back interface(s) as shown in the example below.

Examples
  • The following commands are used to associate a node-segment with an IPv4 address.
    switch(config)# int loopback 1
    switch(config-if-Lo1)# ip address 21.1.1.1/32
    switch(config-if-Lo1)# node-segment ipv4 index 5
  • The following commands are used to associate a node-segment with an IPv6 address.
    switch(config)# int loopback 1
    switch(config-if-Lo1)# ipv6 add 2000::24/128
    switch(config-if-Lo1)# node-segment ipv6 index 5
  • The following example shows a warning thrown at the CLI when a /32 or /128 address is not configured on the interface.
    switch(config)# int loopback 1
    switch(config-if-Lo1)# ip address 21.1.1.1/24
    switch(config-if-Lo1)# node-segment ipv4 index 1
    ! /32 IPv4 address is not configured on the interface
  • The following command removes the node-segment from IS-IS SR from an interface.
    switch(config-if-Lo1)# no node-segment ipv4 index 1

Configuring Prefix-SIDs

Prefix segments are associated with any IS-IS prefix a router is originating an IP Reachability TLV for. These segments are carried as sub-TLVs in IP Reachability TLVs of the prefixes with which these segments are associated. Prefix segments are configured under segment-routing MPLS configuration mode in IS-IS.

Note: The configured prefix segment is effective, only if, the prefix for which a prefix-SID configured becomes a part of IS-IS by enabling IS-IS on interfaces, or by redistribution from other protocols etc.

Example

The following commands are used to associate a prefix segment with an IPv4 address with index value of 50.
switch(config)# router isis instance1
switch(config-router-isis)# segment-routing mpls
switch(config-router-isis-sr-mpls)# prefix-segment 1.1.1.0/24 index 50

Configuring Proxy-Node SIDs

Node segments represent a device (node) by attaching a segment (index) with a /32, /128 prefix which generally is configured on a loopback interface. There are routers which do not support segment routing, and there might be a situation where it is required to assign node identifiers on such routers. To overcome this shortfall, a router that supports IS-IS SR is made to proxy by configuring a proxy-node-SID for a IS-IS prefix originating from the router that does not support IS-IS SR.

Example

A proxy-node SID associates a /32 or a /128 route with an SID as shown below.
switch(config)# router isis instance1
switch(config-router-isis)# segment-routing mpls
switch(config-router-isis-sr-mpls)# proxy-node-segment 1.1.1.0/32 index 50

Although the general use case is to configure a proxy node segment on a router that is not originating the prefix with which we want to associate the proxy-node SID, it is not prohibited to configure one for self-originated prefixes.

Configuring proxy-node-SIDs enables a router to send out a Binding-SID TLV with details pertaining to the prefix and SID.

Note: A Binding-SID can carry a range of prefixes and an associated range of SIDs, but at present the eos does not support to configure such ranges with one binding segment TLV in IS-IS SR. However, we do process ranges of prefixes and SIDs if received from devices that support such configurations.

Configuring Anycast-SID

An Anycast-SID is a prefix segment that identifies a set of routers and not a specific router. It enforces the ECMP-aware shortest-path forwarding towards the closest node of the anycast set.

An example of such an anycast group could be a set of routers A1, A2, A3, and A4 where at least one router of A1, A2, A3, and A4 advertises the prefix SID corresponding to the anycast address (which can be a prefix originating on all of A1, A2, A3 and A4 a loop-back address, maybe).

In general use case, all the routers of the anycast group would have the same prefix-SID configured for the anycast IP address present on them.

Note: That for Anycast-SID to work as expected, the SRGB on the members of the anycast group should be same.

Configuring router-ID

A router that support IS-IS SR need to advertise its SR data-plane capability and the range of MPLS label values it uses for segment routing, this is advertised by inserting SR-Capability sub-TLV in the Router Capabilities TLV.

A Router Capability TLV is now sent in IS-IS LSPs when Segment routing is enabled and it is necessary for a Router Capability TLV to carry a router-ID. This router-ID could be configured in eos under the segment routing MPLS configuration mode. If no router-ID is configured, the router automatically picks up the highest IPv4 address configured on the router for an router-ID.

Configuring IS-IS Static Adjacency SID

Adjacency segments for IS-IS adjacencies are statically configured on the switch, so that these values are preserved even when the switch restarts. Static adjacency segments are configured per address family on any interface (including Port-Channel, VLANs and SVIs). They are configured and advertised as labels.

These are the few points to be considered while configuring the static adjacency SIDs:
  • The same label can be configured on multiple interfaces so that MPLS can form ECMP, the same value can be applied to IPv4 and IPv6 adjacency.
  • Static adjacency SID is applied only to p2p interface, and has local scope. When interface type changes to LAN, then dynamic adjacency SID is assigned.
  • When Static adjacency SIDs are configured, then simply replace dynamic adjacency SIDs which are advertised to other routers and installed in the local LFIB.
  • Static adjacency SID is applied regardless of Adjacency Segment Allocation Mode.
  • When Static adjacency SID is disabled, then normal rules for dynamic adjacency SID is applied (it automatically applies a value based on Adjacency Segment Allocation Mode as described in IS-IS Segment Routing TOI document).

Example

switch(config-if-Et1)# adjacency-segment ipv4 p2p index 50 global

They can be a label (local) or index (global) and we can assign multiple adjacency segments per link.

Where label-value must be within the SR Local Block (SRLB) that can be found in the output of show mpls label range command as shown.

switch# show mpls label range 
Start     End       Size      Usage
------------------------------------------------
0         15        16        reserved

1036288   1048575   12288     l2evpn

Configuring Adjacency Segment Label Range

Adjacency Segments are MPLS labels assigned to IS-IS adjacencies.These labels are shared with other routers in the domain by adding them in adjacency-SID sub-TLVs which are inserted in neighbor Reachability TLVs in IS-IS.

The MPLS labels (adjacency segments) are incrementally allocated to adjacencies, as the transition to Up state, from a adjacent set of MPLS labels pre-allocated by MPLS agent. This label range extends from 100000 to 116383 (base: 100000, size: 16384) by default. This could be changed by the following configuration:

Example

switch(config)# mpls label range dynamic 200000 131072

The dynamic label pool is shared between LDP and IS-IS SR Adjacency Segments.

Configuring Adjacency Segment Allocation Mode

Adjacency Segments are allocated to all IS-IS adjacencies based on the IS-IS routers that have advertised IS-IS SR capability or to none of the adjacencies. The command adjacency-segment allocation is used to configure this under the segment-routing mpls configuration mode.

The default behavior is to allocate adjacency segments to adjacencies of SR supporting devices.

Example

switch(config-router-isis-sr-mpls)# adjacency-segment allocation sr-peer

Adjacency Segment Persistence across Link Flaps

Adjacency segments are allocated to IS-IS adjacencies based on configured adjacency segment allocation mode mentioned above.

If an adjacency that has been allocated label L goes down, L is reserved for this adjacency for a duration of 3600 seconds from the time of the adjacency down event. Only the adjacency that owned this label before going down could reclaim label L in this duration.

Troubleshooting IS-IS Segment Routing

  • The show tech-support ribd command has a section starting with the string SR Book Keeper which has extensive information on state of IS-IS SR on the router.
  • In-case, if IS-IS SR is configured but SR related TLVs/sub, but, TLVs are not being sent in IS-IS LSPs.
    • Ensure that MPLS has been enabled (MPLD IP) enabled.
    • Check if segment routing is administratively shut down.
    • A segment might have been configured for a prefix not yet being advertised in IS-IS.
  • In case, if Adjacency Segments are not being advertised.
    • Check if the adjacency segment mode is correctly set.
    • Adjacency Mode is set to all SR supported interfaces (default setting) and the peer does not support SR.
  • Generally, it is good to not have same prefix with different indices or same index with different prefixes. There are CLI prohibitions that ensure that a router is not sending out conflicting sets of prefixes and associated SIDs. As there is possibility of receiving conflicting prefix-segments from other devices, there are ways to resolve the following three types of conflicts: prefix+SID conflict, SID conflict and prefix conflict.
    • Prefix+SID Conflict: When there are two prefix segments which have both the prefix and SID have same values, the one from the higher system ID is chosen for LFIB processing.
    • Prefix Conflict: If the two prefix segments which have same Prefix are from two different system than the one from higher system ID is chosen. If they are originated from same system ID than we choose the prefix segment of smaller SID.
    • SID Conflict: If the two prefix segments which have same SID are from two different system than the one from higher system ID is chosen. If they are originated from same system than the one which is of smaller prefix length is chosen. If prefix length is also same than the one with smaller address is chosen.

For a given prefix, if both a proxy-node segment and prefix-SID are received, the prefix-SID advertised is preferred while the proxy-node segment is ignored.

The show tech-support ribd displays detail information about IS-IS SRs internal state, and more information on conflicts and chosen active segments could be found under the SR Book Keeper section of show tech-support ribd command as shown.

Received Prefix Segments:

Configuring Redistribution of DHCP for IS-IS Agent (IPv6)

The redistribute dhcp command redistributes DHCPv6 routes in IS-IS when using multi-agent routing protocol mode.

The redistribute dhcp command enables DHCP route redistribution in IS-IS when using the multi-agent routing protocol mode.
  • These commands redistribute IPv6 DHCP routes into the ISIS domain.
    switch(config)# router isis 1
    switch(config-router-isis)# address-family ipv6
    switch(config-router-isis-af)# redistribute dhcp
    switch(config-router-isis-af)#
  • The following command shows the DHCPv6 routes distributed into IS-IS.
    switch(config)# show isis database detail
    IS-IS Instance: inst1 VRF: default
      IS-IS Level 1 Link State Database
        LSPID                 Seq Num   Cksum  Life  IS Flags
        1111.1111.1001.00-00  10        19778  1101  L1 <>

          Reachability (MT-IPv6): 3ffe:701:ffff:101::10/128 Metric: 0 Type: 1 Up
          ...

Disabling IS-IS

An IS-IS instance can be shut down globally or can be disabled on individual interfaces.

The shutdown (IS-IS) command shuts down an IS-IS instance globally.

Example

These commands disable IS-IS globally without modifying the IS-IS configuration.
switch(config)# router isis Osiris
switch(config-router-isis)# shutdown
switch(config-router-isis)#

The no isis enable command disables IS-IS on an interface.

Example

These commands disable IS-IS on interface interface ethernet 4.
switch(config-router-isis)# interface ethernet 4
switch(config-if-Eth4)# no isis enable

Configuring IS-IS Graceful Restart (GR)

By default, IS-IS graceful restart is disabled. Use the graceful-restart command to configure graceful restart on an IS-IS router. By default IS-IS graceful-restart-helper functionality is enabled, and to disable it use no graceful-restart-helper command.

Examples

In this example IS-IS graceful restart is configured with t2 wait time of 30 seconds for level-1 routes.
switch(config)# router isis 1
switch(config-router-isis)# graceful-restart t2 level-1 30

t2 is the maximum wait time for the LSP database to synchronize (SPF computation is not done while t2 is running). t2 can be configured for either Level-1 or Level-2 through the CLI. The default value is 30 seconds, and the allowed configuration range is 5 to 300 seconds.

Example

In this example an ISIS graceful restart is configured with restart-hold-time of 50 seconds.
switch(config)# router isis 1
switch(config-router-isis)# graceful-restart restart-hold-time 50

In case of a planned restart, the hold time advertised by the IS-IS router prior to restart should be greater than the time for which the router is expected to be offline. Otherwise, neighboring routers will bring down the adjacency before the restarting router has a chance to send a restart request in its hello packet, which may result in traffic loss.

In case of ASU2, the IS-IS router instance will advertise a hello hold time of restart-hold-time on those interfaces for which the configured hold time is less than restart-hold-time. This is done just before the router restarts.

Note: Once the router has restarted, the routers advertised hello hold time will depend on the hello-interval and hello-multiplier configuration on each interface as before. By default, the restart-hold-time is disabled.

For Graceful Restart to be successful, the hold time advertised by the router should be greater than the time it takes for Graceful Restart to complete. If the restarting router is DIS, hold time advertised is 1/3rd of the configured value (default is 9s). We recommend increasing the hold time for the DIS to a higher value before a planned restart; otherwise, it may result in traffic loss.

TI-LFA FRR using IS-IS Segment-Routing Configuration

Configuring Link or Node Protection on a Specific Interface

To enable link or node protection for node segments and Adjacency segments learned on a specific IS-IS interface, use the following command in the interface configuration mode.

switch(config-if-Et1)# [no|default] isis fast-reroute ti-lfa mode {link-protection|node-protection|disabled} [level-1|level-2]

The interface TI-LFA configuration inherits the address-family sub-mode configuration by default.

On an L1-L2 router, the [level-1|level-2] optional keyword in both the router IS-IS address-family sub-mode and interface configuration mode CLIs is used to restrict protection to node segments and Adjacency segments learned through either Level-1 or Level-2 topologies only.

Configuring a Local LFIB Convergence Delay for Protected Node or Adjacency Segments

The Point of Local Repair (PLR) switches to the TI-LFA backup path on link failure or BFD neighbor failure but switches back to the post-convergence path once the PLR computes SPF and updates its LFIB. This sequence of events can lead to micro-loops in the topology if the PLR converges faster than other routers along the post-convergence path. So a configuration option is provided to apply a delay, after which the LFIB route being protected by the TI-LFA loop-free repair path will be replaced by the post-convergence LFIB route.

To configure a convergence delay only to LFIB routes that are being protected, the following command is used either in the router IS-IS mode or the router isis address-family sub-mode. A default of 10 seconds is used when using the command without an explicitly specified delay.

switch (config-router-isis-af)#timers local-convergence-delay [delay_in_milliseconds] protected-prefixes

Making Locally-originated Adjacency Segments Backup Eligible

The PLR computes backup paths for an adjacency segment only if the Adjacency SID sub-TLV has the B-flag (backup flag) set.

To set the B-flag in originated Adjacency SID sub-TLVs corresponding to adjacency segments dynamically allocated on the router, the following command is used in the segment-routing mpls sub-mode in the router isis mode.

switch(config-router-isis-sr-mpls)# adjacency-segment allocation [all-interfaces | sr-peers]

To set the B-flag in originated Adjacency SID sub-TLVs corresponding to adjacency segments statically configured on the router, the following command is used in the interface configuration mode.

switch(config-if-Et1)# adjacency-segment [ipv4 | ipv6] p2p [multiple][label label | index index] backup-eligible

backup-eligible is the newly introduced optional keyword in both the CLIs mentioned above that controls the setting of the B-flag in the Adjacency SID sub-TLV.

Enabling SRLG Protection

To enable SRLG protection on all interfaces, use the fast-reroute ti-lfa srlg command. This command is used in addition to configuring link-protection or node-protection. If SRLG protection is enabled, the backup paths are computed after excluding all the links that share the same SRLG with the active link that is being used by all prefix segments and adjacency segments.

switch(config-router-isis-af)# fast-reroute ti-lfa srlg [strict]

If the optional argument strict is configured, the backup path is only programmed if a backup path that excludes all the SRLGs configured on the primary interface. If the keyword is not provided and an SRLG excluding path is not available, TI-LFA programs the backup path that excluded the maximum number of SRLGs possible.

To selectively disable SRLG protection on an interface, use the isis [ipv4|ipv6] fast-reroute ti-lfa srlg disabled command. This is useful if SRLG protection is enabled globally for all interfaces but needs to be selectively disabled for a specific interface.

switch(config-intf-et1)# isis [ipv4 | ipv6] fast-reroute ti-lfa srlg disabled

Sample Configuration

Figure 2. Sample Configuration


The above topology is used to demonstrate the configuration and show command output. You will see the backup paths that the PLR computes to protect the node segments of R1 and R2, the global adjacency segment on R2, and the local adjacency segment on the vlan 2387 on the PLR.

Here is a snippet of the configuration on the PLR.

switch(config)# interface vlan 2138
switch(config-if-Vl2138)# ip address 10.1.1.1/24
switch(config-if-Vl2138)# isis enable inst1
switch(config-if-Vl2138)# isis metric 11
switch(config-if-Vl2138)# isis network point-to-point

switch(config)# interface vlan2387
switch(config-if-Vl2138)# ip address 10.1.2.1/24
switch(config-if-Vl2138)# isis enable inst1
switch(config-if-Vl2138)# isis network point-to-point  
switch(config-if-Vl2138)# adjacency-segment ipv4 p2p label 965537 backup-eligible  
   
switch(config)# interface vlan2968
switch(config-if-Vl2968)# ip address 10.1.3.1/24
switch(config-if-Vl2968)# isis enable inst1
switch(config-if-Vl2968)# isis network point-to-point
switch(config-if-Vl2968)# isis fast-reroute ti-lfa mode disabled

…

switch(config)# router isis inst1
switch(config-isis)# net 49.0001.1111.1111.1001.00
switch(config-isis)# router-id ipv4 252.252.1.252
switch(config-isis)# is-type level-2
switch(config-isis)# timers local-convergence-delay 5000 protected-prefixes
   !
switch(config-isis)# address-family ipv4 unicast
switch(config-isis-af)# fast-reroute ti-lfa mode node-protection
   !
   
switch(config-isis)# segment-routing mpls
switch(config-isis-sr-mpls)# no shutdown
switch(config-isis-sr-mpls)# adjacency-segment allocation sr-peers backup-eligible
!
end

The protection of anycast segments does not need any new configuration. The above configuration enables protection of anycast segments.

To demonstrate the protection of anycast segments consider the following topology.

Figure 3. Topology Number 2


R1 and R4 are originators of the host prefix 10.10.10.1/32 and advertise prefix segment 900010. This must be configured as a prefix segment and not a node segment.

R1 and R4’s configuration should look similar to the following:

switch(confg)# router isis inst1
switch(config-router-isis)# interface Loopback0
switch(config-if-Lo0)# ip address 10.10.10.1/32
switch(config-if-Lo0)# isis enable inst1
     
!
...
switch(confg)# router isis inst1  
switch(config-router-isis)# segment-routing mpls
switch(config-router-isis-sr-mpls)# prefix-segment 10.10.10.1/32 index 10
!

The prefix in the prefix-segment command must belong to an interface enabled with IS-IS or must be an active route in the RIB of another protocol redistributed into IS-IS.

When the link or node protection is configured on the PLR, then the primary path to the segment 900010 is PLR - R1 and the backup path is PLR - R2 - R3 - R4. In other words, the destination in the backup path is the segment originated by R4 as the segment originated by R1 and is not reachable when link PLR-R1 or the node R1 goes down.

show ip route

When services like LDP pseudowires, BGP LU, L2 EVPN, or L3 MPLS VPN use IS-IS SR tunnels as an underlay, these services are automatically protected by TI-LFA tunnels that protect the IS-IS SR tunnels. The show ip route command displays the hierarchy of the overlay-underlay-TI-LFA tunnels.

switch# show ip route
 B        2001:db8:3::/48 [200/0]
           via 2002::b00:301/128, IS-IS SR tunnel index 3, label 122697 
		via TI-LFA tunnel index 5, label imp-null(3)      
		via fe80::200:76ff:fe03:0, Ethernet26/1, label imp-null(3)
		backup via fe80::200:76ff:fe01:0, Ethernet30/1, label 900002 900003

IS-IS Dynamic Flooding Configuration

Configure Dynamic flooding using the lsp flooding dynamic command under the router config mode. For example:
switch(config)# router isis Amun
switch(config-router-isis)# net 49.0000.0000.3333.00
switch(config-router-isis)# is-hostname ip3
switch(config-router-isis)# lsp flooding dynamic

Dynamic flooding should be enabled on all routers in the area. To enable Dynamic Flooding on all routers, use the following command:

lsp flooding dynamic [level-1 | level-2]

nolsp flooding dynamic [level-1 | level-2]

default lsp flooding dynamic [level-1 | level-2]

If necessary, the area leader election process can be tuned or disabled with the commands:

area leader [level-1 | level-2] priority 0-255 area leader [level-1 | level-2] disabled

no area leader [level-1 | level-2] priority 0-255 area leader [level-1 | level-2] disabled

default area leader [level-1 | level-2] priority 0-255 area leader [level-1 | level-2] disabled

Limitations

On a sparse topology, Dynamic Flooding is not effective and only adds overhead. Leaf-spine and Clos networks are appropriate dense topologies.

Relax Address-Family Check for IS-IS Adjacency

Address-Family Check for IS-IS creates the adjacency between devices with different address famiies. For example, a router supporting IPv4 and IPv6 is connected to a IPv4 only router, Address-Family Check is verified by comparing the NLPID TLV ( Type #129 ) advertised in IIH hellos exchanged between peers. It is useful in following scenarios.

Incrementally Enable IPv6 in an Existing IPv4 Network

Relaxing the Address-Family Check is useful to gradually add IPv6 support in an IPv4 network, without disturbing the IPv4 connectivity.

IPv4 Controller Peering IPv4/v6 Dual Stack Router

A controller forms an IS-IS adjacency with a router and uses the IS-IS database for topology discovery. If the controller only supports IPv4 IS-IS or only IPv4 tunnels, to relax the Address-Family Check on the dual stack IPv4/v6 router for adjacency is useful in establishment.

Disabling the Address-family Check

Under IS-IS instance, configure the following to disable the Address-Family Check during IIH processing.

switch(config-router-isis)#?
   adjacency Configure parameters for adjacency formation
switch(config-router-isis)# adjacency?
   address-family Configure address-family related parameters for adjacency formation
switch(config-router-isis)# adjacency address-family?
   match Configure address-family match check related parameters for adjacency formation
switch(config-router-isis)# adjacency address-family match?
   disabled Relax address-family match check for bringing up adjacency 
switch(config-router-isis)# adjacency address-family match disabled?

Show Command

The show isis neighbor detail command displays address family details at each end of the adjacency.

Usage Guidelines

For IPv6 network upgrade, ensure the knob is incrementally configured on a contiguous section of the network, at any point the choice of routers for upgrade should not bisect the upgraded (supporting IPv4/v6) part of the network. All the routers bordering the upgraded network should always have the knob enabled.

When a proper set of router is established, the following steps are carried on each router.
  1. Enable the CLI knob.
  2. Enable IPv6 address family in the IS-IS instance.
  3. Configure IPv6 on all the IS-IS interfaces.

About the Output

After the usual output header that represents the system ID, instance name, etc and parameters of a router, there is a line depicting prefix segment counters. Each field in this line relates to the number of segments that are present in this routers IS-IS instance. For example, the above example shows that this device has 2 Node Segments (Self originated as well as the ones received from other IS-IS SR devices).

The main section of this show commands output is the section that lists all the prefix segments and related information like prefix, SID, type of segment (Prefix, Node, Proxy-Node), the flag values being carried in the sub-TLVs of these prefix segments and the system ID of the originating router. The Type field will be useful on a IS type level-1-2 router. It shows whether the installed prefix segment is from a level-1 prefix or a level-2 prefix.

show isis segment-routing prefix-segments self-originated

The show isis segment-routing prefix-segments self-originated command output is identical to show isis segment-routing prefix-segments except, the fact that the former lists only self-originated prefix segments.

Verifying IS-IS Graceful Restart (GR) Information

GR State can be one of the following:
  • Last Start/Restart was completed successfully.
  • Last Start/Restart exited after t2 (level-1/level-2) expiry.
  • Last Restart exited after t3 expiry.
  • Start/Restart in progress.
  • Graceful Restart was disabled during startup.
The following show commands are used to display the IS-IS graceful restart information.
  • The show isis graceful-restart vrf [vrf-name] command displays the GR configuration and graceful-restart related state of the IS-IS instance as well as its neighbors.

    is-hostname-2   L1     Ethernet2     Yes              Restarting
  • The show isis summary vrf [vrf-name] command displays the graceful restart state and helper configuration.
    Example
    switch# show isis summary vrf default
    IS-IS Instance: 1 VRF: default
     System ID: 0000.0000.0001, administratively enabled
     ....
     Graceful Restart: Enabled, Graceful Restart Helper: Enabled
  • The show isis neighbors detail vrf [vrf-name] command displays the helpers view of a restarting router.
    Example
    switch# show isis neighbors detail vrf default
    Instance  VRF      System Id  Type Interface  SNPA     State  Hold time   Circuit Id

IS-IS Dynamic Flooding Show Commands

Several show commands are available to monitor Dynamic Flooding. To see the flooding topology, use the show isis dynamic flooding topology command:
switch# show isis dynamic flooding topology

IS-IS Instance: Amun VRF: default
  Level 1:
    Path: ip6.00 ip4.00 ip2.00 ip1.00 ip3.00 ip5.00 ip6.00

This command displays a list of paths that describe the flooding topology. Each path is a list of nodes in the network.

To see which interfaces dynamic flooding will use, use the show isis dynamic flooding interfaces command:
switch# show isis dynamic flooding interfaces

IS-IS Instance: Amun VRF: default
  Level 1:
    Ethernet5
    Ethernet4

This shows that the system is currently flooding only on ethernet4 and ethernet5. Normally at least two interfaces are selected.

fast-reroute ti-lfa mode

Use the fast-reroute ti-lfa mode to enable link or node protection for node segments and adjacency segments of a specific address-family learned on all IS-IS interfaces.

Command Mode

address-family sub-mode of the router isis mode (config-router-isis-af)

Command Syntax

fast-reroute ti-lfa mode [[[ link-protection | node-protection][level-1 | level-2]] | disabled]

Parameters
  • link-protection Protects against the failure of the link.
  • node-protection Protects against the failure of the neighbor mode.
  • level-1 Protects prefixes only in level-1.
  • level-2 Protects prefixes on in level-2. Disables the fast-reroute TI-LFA mode.

Guidelines

FRR using TI-LFA is disabled globally by default in the router IS-IS address-family sub-modes.

The interface TI-LFA configuration inherits the address-family sub-mode configuration by default.

fast-reroute ti-lfa srlg

Use the fast reroute ti-lfa srlg command to enable SRLG protection on all interfaces. This command is used in addition to configuring link-protection or node-protection. When SRLG protection is enabled, the backup paths are computed after excluding all the links that share the same SRLG with the active link that is being used by all prefix segments and adjacency segments.

Command Mode

IS-IS router address-family configuration mode

Command Syntax

fast-reroute ti-lfa srlg [strict]

Parameters

strict The backup path is only programmed if a backup path that excludes all the SRLGs configured on the primary interface.

graceful-restart (IS-IS)

The graceful-restart command configures IS-IS graceful-restart. The command provides options to configure the t2 time or the restart-hold-time.

t2 is the maximum wait time for the LSP database to synchronize (SPF computation is not done while t2 is running). t2 can be configured for either Level-1 or Level-2 routes.

restart-hold-time is the hold time advertised by the router to its neighbors before undergoing ASU2 fast reboot.

The no graceful-restart and default graceful-restart commands disables the IS-IS graceful-restart configuration from running-config.

Command Mode

Router-IS-IS Configuration

Command Syntax

graceful-restart t2 | restart-hold-time value

no graceful-restart t2 | restart-hold-time value

default graceful-restart t2 | restart-hold-time value

Parameters

  • value The time in seconds. Value ranges from 5 to 300 seconds.
  • restart-hold-time Sets the hold time when restarting.
  • t2 Sets the LSP database sync wait time.
Examples
  • In this example an ISIS graceful restart is configured with t2 wait time of 30 seconds for Level-1 routes.
    switch(config)# router isis 1
    switch(config-router-isis)# graceful-restart t2 level-1 30
  • In this example an ISIS graceful restart is configured with restart-hold-time of 50 seconds.
    switch(config)# router isis 1
    switch(config-router-isis)# graceful-restart restart-hold-time 50

is-hostname

The is-hostname command configures the use of a human-readable string to represent the symbolic name of an IS-IS router. It also changes the output of IS-IS show commands, to show the IS-IS hostname in place of system IDs if the corresponding IS-IS hostname is known. However, syslogs still use IS-IS system IDs and not the IS-IS hostname.

By default, if a hostname is configured on the switch, it is used as the IS-IS hostname. It is also possible to unconfigure an assigned hostname for IS-IS using the no is-hostname command. When the IS-IS hostname is removed, the switch goes back to using the switchs hostname as the IS-IS hostname.

Command Mode

Router-IS-IS Configuration

Command Syntax

is-hostname string

no is-hostname

Examples
  • These commands configure the IS-IS hostname to the symbolic name ishost1 for the IS-IS router.

multi-topology

The multi-topology command configures IS-IS Multi-Topology (MT) support (disabled by default), enabling an IS-IS router to compute a separate topology for IPv4 and IPv6 links in the network. With MT configured, not all the links in a network need to support both IPv4 and IPv6. Some can support IPv4 or IPv6 individually. The IPv4 SPF will install IPv4 routes using the IPv4 topology, and similarly the IPv6 SPF will install IPv6 routes using the IPv6 topology. Without MT support, all links in an IS-IS network need to support the same set of address families. When MT is enabled, and each link has a separate IPv4 metric and IPv6 metric.

The no multi-topology and default multi-topology commands restores the default interface to both IPv4 and IPv6 address families.

About the Output

After the usual output header that represents the system ID, instance name, etc and parameters of a router, there is a line depicting prefix segment counters. Each field in this line relates to the number of segments that are present in this routers IS-IS instance. For example, the above example shows that this device has 2 Node Segments (Self originated as well as the ones received from other IS-IS SR devices).

The main section of this show commands output is the section that lists all the prefix segments and related information like prefix, SID, type of segment (Prefix, Node, Proxy-Node), the flag values being carried in the sub-TLVs of these prefix segments and the system ID of the originating router. The Type field will be useful on a IS type level-1-2 router. It shows whether the installed prefix segment is from a level-1 prefix or a level-2 prefix.

About the Output

The first line of the output shows the IS-IS system ID of this device and the name of the instance with which IS-IS is configured.

The supported data plane is shown against the SR supported Data-plane field, while the router ID being advertised in the Router Capability is mentioned in the SR Router ID field.

The SRGB in use and the MPLS label pool being used for adjacency segment allocation are mentioned in this output. The current adjacency allocation mode which refers to whether we are allocating adjacency segments to all IS-IS adjacencies or only those adjacencies which support SR or None of the adjacencies is shown in the Adj-SID allocation mode field.

Flag contents of All Prefix Segments originated on this router, Flag contents of All Adjacency Segments originated on this router and supported IS-IS Reachability Algorithm have been provided through this command output and they carry the meaning as per the IS-IS SR IETF draft.

This show command provides a statistics related to IS-IS SR in terms of various counters ranging from number of IS-IS SR enabled peers, number of Node-SIDs, prefix-SIDs, proxy-node-segments and adjacency segments being originated on this router in IS-IS.

The show isis segment-routing command also provides information if segment routing has been administratively disabled as shown.

show mpls segment-routing bindings

The show mpls segment-routing bindings command displays the local label bindings and label bindings on the peer routers for each prefix that has a segment advertised. Peer ID here represents the IS-IS system ID of the peer.

Command Mode

EXEC

Command Syntax

show mpls segment-routing bindings

Example
switch# show mpls segment-routing bindings
1.0.7.1/32
 Local binding: Label: 900002
 Remote binding: Peer ID: 1111.1111.1001, Label: imp-null
 Remote binding: Peer ID: 1111.1111.1003, Label: 900002

shutdown (IS-IS)

The shutdown command disables IS-IS on the switch without modifying the IS-IS configuration.

The no shutdown and default shutdown commands enable the IS-IS instance by removing the shutdown command from running-config.

Command Mode

Router-IS-IS Configuration

Command Syntax

shutdown

no shutdown

default shutdown

Examples
  • These commands disable IS-IS on the switch.
    switch(config)# router isis Osiris
    switch(config-router-isis)# shutdown
    switch(config-router-isis)#
  • This command enables IS-IS on the switch.
    switch(config)# router isis Osiris
    switch(config-router-isis)# no shutdown
    switch(config-router-isis)#

shutdown (IS-IS SR)

The shutdown and default shutdown commands administratively disable IS-IS SR on the switch without modifying the IS-IS SR configuration.

The no shutdown command enables IS-IS SR.

Command Mode

Segment-Routing MPLS Configuration

Command Syntax

shutdown

no shutdown

default shutdown

Examples
  • These commands administratively disable IS-IS SR on the switch but preserve the IS-IS SR configuration.
    switch(config)# router isis Osiris
    switch(config-router-isis)# segment-routing mpls
    switch(config-router-isis-sr-mpls)# shutdown
    switch(config-router-isis-sr-mpls)#
  • This command enables IS-IS SR on the switch.
    switch(config)# router isis Osiris
    switch(config-router-isis)# segment-routing mpls
    switch(config-router-isis-sr-mpls)# no shutdown
    switch(config-router-isis-sr-mpls)#

spf-interval

The spf-interval command sets the Shortest Path First (SPF) timer that defines the interval between IS-IS path calculations. The default value is two seconds.

This command also configures the maximum wait interval between any two SPF runs, initial wait interval before executing the first SPF computation, and the hold time between the first and second SPF runs.

The no spf-interval and default spf-interval commands restore the default maximum IS-IS path calculation interval to two seconds by removing the spf-interval command from running-config.

For information about viewing SPF interval values, see Displaying IS-IS Instance Information.

Command Mode

Router-IS-IS Configuration

Command Syntax

spf-interval max-wait [initial-wait | hold-time]

no spf-interval

default spf-interval

Parameters
  • max-wait Value ranges from 1 through 300 seconds. Default maximum wait interval is 2 seconds.
  • initial-wait Value ranges from 1 through 300000 ms. Default initial wait interval is 1000 ms.
  • hold-time Value ranges from 1 through 300000 ms. Default hold interval is 1000 ms.

Guidelines

eos does not support configuring topology-specific SPF timers in multi-topology deployments and IS-IS level-specific SPF timers.

Examples

  • This command configures the SPF maximum wait interval to 50 seconds.
    switch(config)# router isis Osiris
    switch(config-router-isis)# spf-interval 50
  • This command configures maximum wait interval, initial wait interval, and hold time to 20 seconds, 10000 ms, and 5000 ms respectively.
    switch(config)# router isis inst1
    switch(config-router-isis)# spf-interval 20 10000 5000
  • This command reverts the SPF interval configuration to its default value.
    switch(config)# router isis Osiris
    switch(config-router-isis)# no spf-interval

timers local-convergence-delay

The Point of Local Repair (PLR) switches to the TI-LFA backup path on link failure or BFD neighbor failure but switches back to the post-convergence path once the PLR computes SPF and updates its LFIB. This sequence of events can lead to micro-loops in the topology if the PLR converges faster than other routers along the post-convergence path. So a configuration option is provided to apply a delay, after which the LFIB route being protected by the TI-LFA loop-free repair path will be replaced by the post-convergence LFIB route.

Command Mode

IS-IS address-family sub-mode

Command Syntax

timers local-convergence-delay [delay_in_seconds] protected-prefixes

Parameters
  • delay_in_seconds The convergence delay, in seconds. A default of 10 seconds is used when the command is used without an explicitly specified delay.
  • protected-prefixes The prefix which the LFIB route being protected by the TI-LFA loop-free repair path will be replaced by the post-convergence LFIB route.
