Disabling An Interface From Sending/Receiving Is-Is Packets; Enabling An Interface To Send Small Hello Packets; Configuring Lsp Parameters - 3Com S7906E Configuration Manual

Disabling an Interface from Sending/Receiving IS-IS Packets

After disabled from sending and receiving hello packets, an interface cannot form any neighbor
relationship, but can advertise directly connected networks in LSPs through other interfaces. By doing
so, you can save bandwidth and CPU resources while ensuring other routers know networks directly
connected to the interface.
Follow these steps to disable an interface from sending and receiving IS-IS packets:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter interface view
Disable the interface from
sending and receiving IS-IS
packets

Enabling an Interface to Send Small Hello Packets

IS-IS messages cannot be fragmented at the IP layer because they are directly encapsulated into
frames. Therefore, any two IS-IS neighboring routers need to negotiate a common MTU. To avoid
sending big hellos for saving bandwidth, you can enable the interface to send small hello packets
without CLVs.
Follow these steps to enable an interface to send small hello packets:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter interface view
Enable the interface to send
small hello packets without
CLVs

Configuring LSP Parameters

Configuring LSP timers
1) Specify the maximum age of LSPs
Each LSP has an age that decreases in the LSDB. Any LSP with an age of 0 is deleted from the LSDB.
You can adjust the age value based on the scale of a network.
Follow these steps to specify the maximum age of LSPs:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter IS-IS view
Use the command...
system-view
interface interface-type
interface-number
isis silent
Use the command...
system-view
interface interface-type
interface-number
isis small-hello
Use the command...
system-view
isis [ process-id ]
[ vpn-instance
