6 Set a list of keys for 
authentication (optional).
esr(config-isis)# 
authentication domain key 
chain <KEYCHAIN>
<KEYCHAIN> – key list identifier, set by the 
string of up to 16 characters. 
7 Select the authentication 
algorithm for the L1 layer 
(optional).
esr(config-isis)# 
authentication area 
algorithm<ALGORITHM> 
<ALGORITHM> – authentication algorithm:
cleartext – unencrypted password;
md5 – password is hashed by md5 
algorithm. 
8 Set the authentication 
password for the L1 layer 
(optional).
esr(config-isis)# 
authentication area key ascii-
text { <CLEAR-TEXT> | 
encrypted <ENCRYPTED-
TEXT> }
<CLEAR-TEXT> – password, set by the 
string of 8 characters;
<ENCRYPTED-TEXT> – encrypted 
password of 8 bytes (16 characters) in 
hexadecimal format (0xYYYY...) or

12 Set the type of metric to be 
used in the IS-IS process 
(optional).
esr(config-isis)#metric-style 
{ narrow | wide | transition } 
[<LEVEL>]
narrow— accepts and generates TLVs (on 
network reachability) of the old type;
wide — accepts and generates TLVs (on 
network reachability) of the new type;
transition — accepts and generates TLVs 
(on network reachability) of the new and 
old type;
<LEVEL> – IS-IS protocol operation level:
level-1 – operate only on level 1;
level-2-only – operate only on level 
2.
13 Set the route priority for the 
specified IS-IS process
