Configuring IPv6 IS-IS MTR

On a network comprising both IPv4 and IPv6 topologies, the IPv4 and IPv6 topologies must be consistent
so that both IPv6 IS-IS and IPv4 IS-IS can use the Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm to perform route

calculation. If they are different, routers supporting both IPv4 and IPv6 send IPv6 packets to routers that

do not support IPv6, and thus packet loss occurs.
To solve the problem, you can configure IPv6 IS-IS Multi-Topology Routing (MTR) to perform route
calculation separately in IPv4 and IPv6 topologies.

Figure 114

, the numbers refer to the link costs. Router A, Router B, and Router D support both IPv4 and

IPv6. Router C supports only IPv4 and cannot forward IPv6 packets.
Enable IPv6 IS-IS MTR on Router A, Router B, Router C, and Router D to make them perform route

calculation separately in IPv4 and IPv6 topologies. In this way, Router A will not forward IPv6 packets

destined to Router D through Router B to avoid packet loss.

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure IPv6 IS-IS MTR, complete the following tasks:

Configure basic IS-IS and IPv6 IS-IS.

Establish IS-IS neighbors.

Configuration procedure

To configure IPv6 IS-IS MTR:

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 cost style for IS-IS.

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

narrow-compatible }

[ relax-spf-limit ] }

By default, narrow is adopted.

4.

Enable IPv6 IS-IS MTR.
