NOTE:

According to RFC 3784, the length of the IS reachability TLV (type 22) may reach the maximum of 255
bytes in some cases.

For an IS-IS LSP to carry this type of TLV and to be flooded normally on all interfaces with IS-IS enabled,
the MTU of any IS-IS enabled interface, including 27 bytes of LSP header and two bytes of TLV header,
cannot be less than 284 bytes. If an LSP must also carry the authentication information, the minimum

MTU must be recalculated according to the packet structure.

When TE is configured, set the MTU of any interface with IS-IS enabled be equal to or greater than 512
bytes to guarantee that IS-IS LSPs can be flooded on the network.

Follow these steps to configure IS-IS TE:

To do…

Configure the wide metric attribute
of IS-IS

cost-style { narrow | wide |
wide-compatible | { compatible |

narrow-compatible }

[ relax-spf-limit ] }

Required
By default, IS-IS uses narrow metric

style.

Enable IS-IS TE

traffic-eng [ level-1 | level-2 |
level-1-2 ]

Required
Disabled by default

NOTE:

For more information about IS-IS, see

Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide.

IS-IS TE does not support secondary IP address advertisement. With IS-IS TE enabled on an interface
configured with multiple IP addresses, IS-IS TE advertises only the primary IP address of the interface

through the sub-TLV of IS reachability TLV (type 22). H3C recommends avoiding enabling IS-IS TE on an
interface configured with secondary IP addresses.

Configuring an MPLS TE explicit path

An explicit path is a set of nodes. The relationship between any two neighboring nodes on an explicit

path can be either strict or loose.

Strict: The two nodes are directly connected.

Loose: The two nodes have devices in between.

When inserting nodes to an explicit path or modifying nodes on it, you can configure the include

keyword to have the established LSP traverse the specified nodes or the exclude keyword to have the

established LSP bypass the specified nodes.
