IPv6 Routing: IS-IS Support for IPv6

This module describes how to configure Integrated Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) for IPv6. IS-IS is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that advertises link-state information throughout the network to create a picture of the network topology. IS-IS is an Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) hierarchical routing protocol that designates an intermediate system as a Level 1 or Level 2 device. Level 2 devices route between Level 1 areas to create an intradomain routing backbone. Integrated IS-IS uses a single routing algorithm to support several network address families, such as IPv6, IPv4, and OSI.

Information About IPv6 Routing: IS-IS Support for IPv6

IS-IS Enhancements for IPv6

IS-IS in IPv6 functions the same and offers many of the same benefits as IS-IS in IPv4. IPv6 enhancements to IS-IS allow IS-IS to advertise IPv6 prefixes in addition to IPv4 and OSI routes. Extensions to the IS-IS command-line interface (CLI) allow configuration of IPv6-specific parameters. IPv6 IS-IS extends the address families supported by IS-IS to include IPv6, in addition to OSI and IPv4.

IS-IS in IPv6 supports either single-topology mode or multiple topology mode.

IS-IS Single-Topology Support for IPv6

Single-topology support for IPv6 allows IS-IS for IPv6 to be configured on interfaces along with other network protocols (for example, IPv4 and Connectionless Network Service [CLNS]). All interfaces must be configured with the identical set of network address families. In addition, all routers in the IS-IS area (for Level 1 routing) or the domain (for Level 2 routing) must support the identical set of network layer address families on all interfaces.

When single-topology support for IPv6 is being used, either old- or new-style TLVs may be used. However, the TLVs used to advertise reachability to IPv6 prefixes use extended metrics. Cisco routers do not allow an interface metric to be set to a value greater than 63 if the configuration is not set to support only new-style TLVs for IPv4. In single-topology IPv6 mode, the configured metric is always the same for both IPv4 and IPv6.

IPv6 IS-IS Local RIB

A router that is running IS-IS IPv6 maintains a local RIB in which it stores all routes to destinations it has learned from its neighbors. At the end of each SPF, IS-IS attempts to install the best (that is, the least-cost) routes to a destination present in the local RIB in the global IPv6 routing table.

How to Configure IPv6 Routing: IS-IS Support for IPv6

Configuring Single-Topology IS-IS for IPv6

Configuring IS-IS comprises two activities. The first activity creates an IS-IS routing process and is performed using protocol-independent IS-IS commands. The second activity in configuring IPv6 IS-IS configures the operation of the IS-IS protocol on an interface.

Before you begin

Before configuring the router to run IPv6 IS-IS, globally enable IPv6 using the ipv6 unicast-routing global configuration command.


Note

If you are using IS-IS single-topology support for IPv6, IPv4, or both IPv6 and IPv4, you may configure both IPv6 and IPv4 on an IS-IS interface for Level 1, Level 2, or both Level 1 and Level 2. However, if both IPv6 and IPv4 are configured on the same interface, they must be running the same IS-IS level. That is, IPv4 cannot be configured to run on IS-IS Level 1 only on a specified GigabitEthernet or FastEthernet interface while IPv6 is configured to run IS-IS Level 2 only on the same GigabitEthernet or FastEthernet interface.

Customizing IPv6 IS-IS

Perform this task to configure a new administrative distance for IPv6 IS-IS, configure the maximum number of equal-cost paths that IPv6 IS-IS will support, configure summary prefixes for IPv6 IS-IS, and configure an IS-IS instance to advertise the default IPv6 route (::/0). It also explains how to configure the hold-down period between partial route calculations (PRCs) and how often Cisco IOS XE software performs the SPF calculation when using multitopology IS-IS.

You can customize IS-IS multitopology for IPv6 for your network, but you likely will not need to do so. The defaults for this feature are set to meet the requirements of most customers and features. If you change the defaults, refer to the IPv4 configuration guide and the IPv6 command reference to find the appropriate syntax.

DETAILED STEPS

  Command or Action Purpose
Step 1

enable

Example:


Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

  • Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:


Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

router isis area-tag

Example:


Router(config)# router isis area2

Enables IS-IS for the specified IS-IS routing process, and enters router configuration mode.

Step 4

address-family ipv6 [unicast | multicast ]

Example:


Router(config-router)# address-family ipv6

Specifies the IPv6 address family, and enters address family configuration mode.

  • The unicast keyword specifies the unicast IPv6 unicast address family. By default, the router is placed in configuration mode for the unicast IPv6 address family if the unicast keyword is not specified with the address-family ipv6 command.

Step 5

default-information originate [route-map map-name ]

Example:


Router(config-router-af)# default-information originate

(Optional) Injects a default IPv6 route into an IS-IS routing domain.

  • The route-map keyword and map-name argument specify the conditions under which the IPv6 default route is advertised.

  • If the route map keyword is omitted, then the IPv6 default route will be unconditionally advertised at Level 2.

Step 6

distance value

Example:


Router(config-router-af)# distance 90

(Optional) Defines an administrative distance for IPv6 IS-IS routes in the IPv6 routing table.

  • The value argument is an integer from 10 to 254. (The values 0 to 9 are reserved for internal use).

Step 7

maximum-paths number-paths

Example:


Router(config-router-af)# maximum-paths 3

(Optional) Defines the maximum number of equal-cost routes that IPv6 IS-IS can support.

  • This command also supports IPv6 Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP).

  • The number-paths argument is an integer from 1 to 64. The default for BGP is one path; the default for IS-IS and RIP is 16 paths.

Step 8

summary-prefix ipv6-prefix prefix-length level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2 ]

Example:


Router(config-router-af)# summary-prefix 2001:DB8::/24

(Optional) Allows a Level 1-2 router to summarize Level 1 prefixes at Level 2, instead of advertising the Level 1 prefixes directly when the router advertises the summary.

  • The ipv6-prefix argument in the summary-prefix command must be in the form documented in RFC 2373 where the address is specified in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons.

  • The prefix-length argument is a decimal value that indicates how many of the high-order contiguous bits of the address comprise the prefix (the network portion of the address). A slash mark must precede the decimal value.

Step 9

prc-interval seconds [initial-wait ] [secondary-wait

Example:


Router(config-router-af)# prc-interval 20

(Optional) Configures the hold-down period between PRCs for multitopology IS-IS for IPv6.

Step 10

spf-interval [level-1 | level-2 ] seconds initial-wait ] [secondary-wait

Example:


Router(config-router-af)# spf-interval 30

(Optional) Configures how often Cisco IOS XE software performs the SPF calculation for multitopology IS-IS for IPv6.

Step 11

exit

Example:


Router(config-router-af)# exit

Exits address family configuration mode, and returns the router to router configuration mode.

  • Repeat this step to exit router configuration mode and return the router to global configuration mode.

Step 12

interface type number

Example:


Router(config-router)# interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1

Specifies the interface type and number, and enters interface configuration mode.

Step 13

isis ipv6 metric metric-value [level-1 | level-2 | level-1-2

Example:


Router(config-if)# isis ipv6 metric 20

(Optional) Configures the value of an multitopology IS-IS for IPv6 metric.

Disabling IPv6 Protocol-Support Consistency Checks

Perform this task to disable protocol-support consistency checks in IPv6 single-topology mode.

For single-topology IS-IS IPv6, routers must be configured to run the same set of address families. IS-IS performs consistency checks on hello packets and will reject hello packets that do not have the same set of configured address families. For example, a router running IS-IS for both IPv4 and IPv6 will not form an adjacency with a router running IS-IS for IPv4 or IPv6 only. In order to allow adjacency to be formed in mismatched address-families network, the adjacency-check command in IPv6 address family configuration mode must be disabled.


Note

Entering the no adjacency-check command can adversely affect your network configuration. Enter the no adjacency-check command only when you are running IPv4 IS-IS on all your routers and you want to add IPv6 IS-IS to your network but you need to maintain all your adjacencies during the transition. When the IPv6 IS-IS configuration is complete, remove the no adjacency-check command from the configuration.

SUMMARY STEPS

  2. configure terminal
  3. router isis area-tag
  4. address-family ipv6 [unicast | multicast ]
  5. no adjacency-check

DETAILED STEPS

  Command or Action Purpose
Step 1

enable

Example:


Device> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

  • Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:


Device# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

router isis area-tag

Example:


Device(config)# router isis area2

Enables IS-IS for the specified IS-IS routing process, and enters router configuration mode.

Step 4

address-family ipv6 [unicast | multicast ]

Example:


Device(config-router)# address-family ipv6

Specifies the IPv6 address family, and enters address family configuration mode.

  • The unicast keyword specifies the unicast IPv6 unicast address family. By default, the router is placed in configuration mode for the unicast IPv6 address family if the unicast keyword is not specified with the address-family ipv6 command.

Step 5

no adjacency-check

Example:


Device(config-router-af)# no adjacency-check

Disables the IPv6 protocol-support consistency checks performed on hello packets, allowing IPv6 to be introduced into an IPv4-only network without disrupting existing adjacencies.

  • The adjacency-check command is enabled by default.

Disabling IPv4 Subnet Consistency Checks

Perform this task to disable IPv4 subnet consistency checking when forming adjacencies. software historically makes checks on hello packets to ensure that the IPv4 address is present and has a consistent subnet with the neighbor from which the hello packets are received. To disable this check, use the no adjacency-check command in the router configuration mode. However, if multitopology IS-IS is configured, this check is automatically suppressed, because multitopology IS-IS requires routers to form an adjacency regardless of whether or not all routers on a LAN support a common protocol.

Configuration Examples for IPv6 Routing: IS-IS Support for IPv6

Example: Customizing IPv6 IS-IS

The following example advertises the IPv6 default route (::/0)--with an origin of GigabitEthernet interface 0/0/1--with all other routes in router updates sent on GigabitEthernet interface 0/0/1. This example also sets an administrative distance for IPv6 IS-IS to 90, defines the maximum number of equal-cost paths that IPv6 IS-IS will support as 3, and configures a summary prefix of 2001:DB8::/24 for IPv6 IS-IS. 


router isis 
 address-family ipv6
 default-information originate
 distance 90
 maximum-paths 3
 summary-prefix 2001:DB8::/24
