Implementing IS-IS
LDP IGP auto-configuration can also be explicitly disabled on individual interfaces under LDP using the igp
auto-config disable command. This allows LDP to receive all IGP interfaces except the ones explicitly
disabled.
See the MPLS configuration guide for information on configuring LDP IGP auto-configuration.

MPLS TE Forwarding Adjacency

MPLS TE forwarding adjacency allows a network administrator to handle a traffic engineering, label switch
path (LSP) tunnel as a link in an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) network, based on the Shortest Path First
(SPF) algorithm. A forwarding adjacency can be created between routers in the same IS-IS level. The routers
can be located multiple hops from each other. As a result, a TE tunnel is advertised as a link in an IGP network,
with the cost of the link associated with it. Routers outside of the TE domain see the TE tunnel and use it to
compute the shortest path for routing traffic throughout the network.
MPLS TE forwarding adjacency is considered in IS-IS SPF only if a two-way connectivity check is achieved.
This is possible if the forwarding adjacency is bidirectional or the head end and tail end routers of the MPLS
TE tunnel are adjacent.
The MPLS TE forwarding adjacency feature is supported by IS-IS. For details on configuring MPLS TE
forwarding adjacency, see the MPLS Configuration Guide.

MPLS TE Interarea Tunnels

MPLS TE interarea tunnels allow you to establish MPLS TE tunnels that span multiple IGP areas (Open
Shorted Path First [OSPF]) and levels (IS-IS), removing the restriction that required that both the tunnel
headend and tailend routers be in the same area. The IGP can be either IS-IS or OSPF. See the
MPLS Traffic Engineering for IS-IS, on page 225
For details on configuring MPLS TE interarea tunnels, see the MPLS Configuration Guide.

IP Fast Reroute

The IP Fast Reroute (IPFRR) loop-free alternate (LFA) computation provides protection against link failure.
Locally computed repair paths are used to prevent packet loss caused by loops that occur during network
reconvergence after a failure. See IETF draft-ietf-rtgwg-ipfrr-framework-06.txt and
draft-ietf-rtgwg-lf-conv-frmwk-00.txt for detailed information on IPFRR LFA.
IPFRR LFA is different from Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) as it is applicable to networks using
conventional IP routing and forwarding. See MPLS Configuration Guide for Cisco NCS 6000 Series Routers
for information on configuring MPLS IPFRR.

IS-IS Over GRE Interfaces

Cisco IOS XR software provides the capability to run IS-IS protocols over Generic Routing Encapsulation
(GRE) tunnel interfaces.
For more information on GRE tunnel interfaces, see Implementing BGP on Cisco IOS XR software module.
for information on configuring MPLS TE for IS-IS.
