Enabling MT for an IS-IS Process

Based on service requirements and the network plan, an IS-IS process can be associated with various topology instances so that multiple logical topologies are deployed in an IS-IS AS.

Context

You can associate an IS-IS process with IPv4 or IPv6 topology instances as required so that the SPF calculation can be performed for the topology instances in the IS-IS process. Then, configure parameters, you can such as the interface cost and protocol priority for the topology instances.

The configuration in an IS-IS topology instance view takes effect only on the topology instance. Therefore, you can configure different features and parameters for different topology instances as required.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run ip topology topology-name

    An IPv4 topology is created.

  3. Run ipv6 topology topology-name

    An IPv6 topology is created.

  4. Run isis [ process-id ]

    The IS-IS view is displayed.

  5. Run cost-style { wide | wide-compatible }

    The cost style of packets sent and received by the router is set to wide or wide-compatible.

    Go to Step 6 or Step 7 as required.
    • If the router supports only IPv4 services, go to Step 6.
    • If the router supports only IPv6 services, go to Step 7.
    • If the router supports both IPv4 and IPv6 services, perform the following steps.

  6. Run topology topology-name [ topology-id { multicast | topology-id } ]

    The IS-IS process is associated with a specified IPv4 topology instance, and the IS-IS IPv4 topology view is displayed.

  7. Run ipv6 topology topology-name [ topology-id { multicast | topology-id } ]

    The IS-IS process is associated with a specified IPv6 topology instance, and the IPv6 topology view is displayed.

  8. (Optional) Configure IS-IS features for topology instances using the following commands:

  9. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
