Specifies the interface to be configured and enter interface
configuration mode. If the interface is not already configured

as a Layer 3 interface, enter the no switchport command to
put it into Layer 3 mode.
(Optional) Configures the metric (or cost) for the specified
interface. The range is from 0 to 63. The default is 10. If no

Level 2 routers.
Example:

(Optional) Specifies the length of time between hello packets
sent by the switch. By default, a value three times the hello

are detected faster, but there is more routing traffic.
• minimal—causes the system to compute the hello
interval based on the hello multiplier so that the resulting
hold time is 1 second.
• seconds—the range is from 1 to 65535. The default is
10 seconds.
(Optional) Specifies the number of IS-IS hello packets a
neighbor must miss before the router should declare the

is 3. Using a smaller hello-multiplier causes fast convergence,
but can result in more routing instability.
(Optional) Configures the IS-IS complete sequence number
