Configuring basic IS-IS

This section describes the basic settings required for an IS-IS network to run.

Configuration prerequisites

Before the configuration, complete the following tasks:

Configure the link layer protocol.

Configure IP addresses for interfaces to ensure IP connectivity between neighboring nodes.

Enabling IS-IS

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enable the IS-IS routing

process and enter its view.

isis [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]

Not enabled by default.

3.

Assign a network entity title

(NET).

network-entity net

Not assigned by default.

4.

Return to system view.

quit

N/A

5.

Enter interface view.

interface interface-type
interface-number

N/A

6.

Enable an IS-IS process on the
interface.

isis enable [ process-id ]

Disabled by default.

Configuring the IS level and circuit level

If only one area is available, H3C recommends performing the following operations:

Configure the IS level of all routers as Level-1 or Level-2 rather than different levels because the
routers do not need to maintain two identical LSDBs.

Configure the IS level as Level-2 on all routers in an IP network for scalability.

For an interface of a Level-1 (or Level-2) router, the circuit level can only be Level-1 (or Level-2). For an

interface of a Level-1-2 router, the default circuit level is Level-1-2; if the router only needs to form Level-1 (or

Level-2) neighbor relationships, configure the circuit level for its interfaces as Level-1 (or Level-2) to limit

neighbor relationship establishment.
To configure the IS level and circuit level:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter IS-IS view.

isis [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]

N/A

3.

Specify the IS level.

is-level { level-1 | level-1-2 |
level-2 }

Optional.
The default is Level-1-2.
