3. Add the interface to a mesh
group or block the interface.
• Add the interface to a mesh
group:
isis mesh-group
mesh-group-number
• Block the interface:
isis mesh-group mesh-blocked
Use either method.
By default, the interface does not
belong to any mesh group and is
not blocked.
The mesh group feature takes effect
only on P2P interfaces.
Controlling SPF calculation interval
Based on the LSDB, an IS-IS router uses the SPF algorithm to calculate the shortest path tree with itself
being the root, and uses the shortest path tree to determine the next hop to a destination network. By
adjusting the SPF calculation interval, you can prevent bandwidth and router resources from being
overconsumed due to frequent topology changes.
When network changes are not frequent, the minimum-interval is adopted. If network changes become
frequent, the SPF calculation interval is incremented by incremental-interval × 2
n-2
(n is the number of
calculation times) each time a calculation occurs until the maximum-interval is reached.
To control SPF calculation interval:

By default:
• The maximum interval is 5
seconds.
• The minimum interval is 50
milliseconds.
• The incremental interval is
200 milliseconds.
Configuring convergence priorities for specific routes
A topology change causes IS-IS routing convergence. To improve convergence speed, you can assign
different convergence priorities to specific IS-IS routes, including critical, high, medium, and low. The
higher the convergence priority, the faster the convergence speed.
By default, IS-IS host routes have the medium convergence priority, and other IS-IS routes have the low
convergence priority.
To assign convergence priorities to specific IS-IS routes:
