Dell S3048-ON User Manual

Conguring the IS-IS Metric Style
All IS-IS links or interfaces are associated with a cost that is used in the shortest path rst (SPF) calculations. The possible cost varies
depending on the metric style supported.
If you congure narrow, transition, or narrow transition metric style, the cost can be a number between 0 and 63. If you congure wide or
wide transition metric style, the cost can be a number between 0 and 16,777,215. Dell Networking OS supports ve dierent metric styles:
narrow, wide, transition, narrow transition, and wide transition.
By default, Dell Networking OS generates and receives narrow metric values. Matrixes or costs higher than 63 are not supported. To
accept or generate routes with a higher metric, you must change the metric style of the IS-IS process. For example, if you congure the
metric as narrow, and a link state PDU (LSP) with wide metrics is received, the route is not installed.
Dell Networking OS supports the following IS-IS metric styles.
Table 27. Metric Styles
Metric Style Characteristics Cost Range Supported on IS-IS Interfaces
narrow Sends and accepts narrow or old TLVs
(Type, Length, Value).
0 to 63
wide Sends and accepts wide or new TLVs. 0 to 16777215
transition Sends both wide (new) and narrow (old)
TLVs.
0 to 63
narrow transition Sends narrow (old) TLVs and accepts both
narrow (old) and wide (new) TLVs.
0 to 63
wide transition Sends wide (new) TLVs and accepts both
narrow (old) and wide (new) TLVs.
0 to 16777215
To change the IS-IS metric style of the IS-IS process, use the following command.
• Set the metric style for the IS-IS process.
ROUTER ISIS mode
metric-style {narrow [transition] | transition | wide [transition]} [level-1 | level-2]
The default is narrow.
The default is Level 1 and Level 2 (level-1–2)
To view which metric types are generated and received, use the show isis protocol command in EXEC Privilege mode. The IS-IS
matrixes settings are in bold.
