Configuring IS-IS NSF 
To configure IS-IS NSF, perform this task:
Command Purpose
Step 1
Switch# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
Switch(config)# router isis [tag] 
Enables an IS-IS routing process, which places the 
switch in router configuration mode.
Step 3
Switch(config-router)# nsf [cisco | ietf]
Enables NSF operation for IS-IS.
Enter the ietf keyword to enable IS-IS in a 
homogeneous network where adjacencies with 
networking devices supporting IETF draft-based 
restartability is guaranteed. 
Enter the cisco keyword to run IS-IS in 
heterogeneous networks that might not have 
adjacencies with NSF-aware networking devices. 
Step 4
Switch(config-router)# nsf interval [minutes] 
(Optional) Specifies the minimum time between 
NSF restart attempts. The default time between 
consecutive NSF restart attempts is 5 minutes.
Step 5
Switch(config-router)# nsf t3 {manual [seconds] | 
adjacency}
(Optional) Specifies the time IS-IS waits for the 
IS-IS database to synchronize before generating 
overloaded link-state information for itself and 
flooding that information out to its neighbors. 
The t3 keyword applies only if you selected IETF 
operation. When you specify adjacency, the switch 
that is restarting obtains its wait time from 
neighboring devices.
Step 6
Switch(config-router)# nsf interface wait seconds
(Optional) Specifies how long an IS-IS NSF restart 
waits for all interfaces with IS-IS adjacencies to 
come up before completing the restart. The default 
is 10 seconds.
