• narrow (supports only type, length, and value [TLV] up to 63)
• wide (supports TLV up to 16777215)
• transition (supports both narrow and wide and uses a TLV up to 63)
• narrow transition (accepts both narrow and wide and sends only narrow or old-style TLV)
• wide transition (accepts both narrow and wide and sends only wide or new-style TLV)

Configure Metric Values

For any level (Level-1, Level-2, or Level-1-2), the value range possible in the isis metric command in
INTERFACE mode changes depending on the metric style.
The following describes the correct value range for the isis metric command.
Metric Style Correct Value Range for the isis metric Command
wide 0 to 16777215
narrow 0 to 63
wide transition 0 to 16777215
narrow transition 0 to 63
transition 0 to 63

Maximum Values in the Routing Table

IS-IS metric styles support different cost ranges for the route. The cost range for the narrow metric style
is 0 to 1023, while all other metric styles support a range of 0 to 0xFE000000.

Change the IS-IS Metric Style in One Level Only

By default, the IS-IS metric style is narrow. When you change from one IS-IS metric style to another, the
IS-IS metric value (configured with the isis metric command) could be affected.
In the following scenarios, the IS-type is either Level-1 or Level-2 or Level-1-2 and the metric style
changes.
