For any level (Level-1, Level-2, or Level-1-2), the value range possible in the isis metric command in
INTERFACE mode changes depending on the metric style.
Maximum Values in the Routing Table
IS-IS metric styles support different cost ranges for the route. The cost range for the narrow metric style is
0 to 1023, while all other metric styles support a range of 0 to 0xFE000000.
Changing the IS-IS Metric Style in One Level Only
By default, the IS-IS metric style is narrow. When you change from one IS-IS metric style to another, the
IS-IS metric value (configured with the
isis metric command) could be affected.
In the following scenarios, the IS-type is either Level-1 or Level-2 or Level-1-2 and the metric style
changes.
