Configuring IS-IS (IPv4)

In this chapter

The Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) protocol is a link-state Interior Gateway
Protocol (IGP) that is based on the International Standard for Organization/International
Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) Open Systems Internet Networking model (OSI). In IS-IS, an
intermediate system (router) is designated as either a Level 1 or Level 2 router. A Level 1 router
routes traffic only within the area in which the router resides. A Level 2 router routes traffic
between areas within a routing domain.
The Brocade implementation of IS-IS is based on the following specifications and draft
specifications:

NOTE
The BigIron RX does not support routing of Connectionless-Mode Network Protocol (CLNP) packets.
The BigIron RX uses IS-IS for TCP/IP only.

Portions of the Internet Draft "IS-IS extensions for Traffic Engineering"
draft-ieff-isis-traffic-02.txt (dated 2000). that describe the Extended IP reachability TLV (TLV
type 135) and the extended Intermediate System (IS) reachability TLV (TLV type 22). These
portions provide support for the wide metric version of IS-IS. No other portion is supported on
Brocade's implementation of IS-IS.
