Configure IS-IS metric style and cost
All IS-IS links or interfaces are associated with a cost that is used in the SPF calculations. The possible
cost varies depending on the metric style supported. If you configure narrow, transition or narrow
transition metric style, the cost can be a number between 0 and 63. If you configure wide or wide transition
metric style, the cost can be a number between 0 and 16,777,215. FTOS supports five different metric
styles: narrow, wide, transition, narrow transition, and wide transition.
By default, FTOS generates and receives narrow metric values. Metrics or costs higher than 63 are not
supported. To accept or generate routes with a higher metric, you must change the metric style of the IS-IS
process. For example, if metric is configured as narrow, and an LSP with wide metrics is received, the
route is not installed.
FTOS supports the following IS-IS metric styles:
