Configuring Convergence Priorities for IPv4 IS-IS Routes

IS-IS routes with higher convergence priority converge preferentially when the network topology changes, which minimizes the impacts on critical services. This section describes how to configure convergence priorities for IS-IS routes.

Context

The NetEngine 8000 F allows you to configure the highest convergence priority for specific IS-IS routes so that those IS-IS routes converge first when a network topology changes.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run isis [ process-id ]

    The IS-IS view is displayed.

  3. Run prefix-priority [ level-1 | level-2 ] { critical | high | medium | very-low } { ip-prefix prefix-name | tag tag-value }

    A convergence priority is configured for IS-IS routes.

    The convergence priorities for IS-IS routes are used as follows:
    • Existing IS-IS routes converge based on the priorities configured in the prefix-priority command.

    • New IS-IS routes that match the filtering rules converge based on the priorities configured in the prefix-priority command.

    • If an IS-IS route meets the matching rules of multiple convergence priorities, the highest convergence priority is used.

    • The convergence priority of Level-1 IS-IS routes is higher than that of Level-2 IS-IS routes.

    • If the route level is not specified, the configuration of the prefix-priority command takes effect on both Level-1 and Level-2 IS-IS routes.

    The prefix-priority command is only applicable to the public network.

    After the prefix-priority command is run, the convergence priority of 32-bit host routes is low, and the convergence priorities of the other routes are specified in the prefix-priority command.

  4. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
