Command Mode
Router mode
Applicability
This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.
Examples
(config)#router isis bb
(config-router)#adjacency-check
 
(config-router)#no adjacency-check
area-password
Use this command to set the authentication password for the Level-1 area and to set authentication on Level-1 sequence number PDUs. This command enables authentication when receiving and sending link-state and sequence number PDUs in Level-1 areas. The password must be the same for all the ISIS routers in the same area.
Use the no parameter with this command to clear the area password.
Command Syntax
area-password WORD
area-password WORD authenticate snp (send-only|validate)
no area-password
Parameters
WORD
Password string.
authenticate
Insert the password into Level-1 SNP PDUs.
snp
Sequence number PDUs.
send-only
Only insert the password into the Level-1 sequence number PDUs, but not check the password in sequence number PDUs that it receives. Use this keyword during a software upgrade to ease the transition.
validate
Insert the password into Level-1 sequence number PDUs and check the password in sequence number PDUs that it receives.
Default
By default, the area password is not configured
Command Mode
Router mode
Applicability
This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.
Examples
(config)#router isis bb
(config-router)#area-password mypasswd
 
(config)#router isis bb
(config-router)#area-password myPass authenticate snp send-only
 
(config)#router isis bb
(config-router)#no area-password
authentication key-chain
Use this command to set the key chain to be used for authentication at the instance level. Authentication mode must be set to md5 to configure the key chain. If no key chain is configured with the key-chain command, no key-chain authentication is performed.
Only one authentication key-chain is applied to an ISIS interface at a time. That is, issuing a second isis authentication key-chain command overrides the first isis authentication key-chain command. If neither the level-1 nor the level-2 keyword is configured, the chain applies to both levels. Authentication can be specified for an individual ISIS interface using the isis authentication key-chain command.
Use the no parameter with this command to unset the key chain used for authentication.
Command Syntax
authentication key-chain WORD (level-1|level-2|)
no authentication key-chain (level-1|level-2|)
Parameters
WORD
Specify the chain name (valid authentication keys).
level-1
Specify an authentication key-chain for level-1 PDUs.
level-2
Specify an authentication key-chain for level-2 PDUs.
Default
The key chain applies to the level(s) on which authentication mode is configured as MD5 if no level is specified.
Command Mode
Router mode
Applicability
This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.
Example
#configure terminal
(config)#router isis 1
(config-router)#authentication key-chain myKey level-1
authentication mode
Use this command to set the authentication mode at the instance level.
If clear-text authentication was configured using the area-password or domain password commands, the authentication mode command overrides both of those commands (based on the level at which MD5 is configured). If the authentication mode command was used first, and subsequently an attempt is made to use the area-password or domain password commands, the attempt fails. To configure clear-text authentication using the area-password or domain password commands, first use the no authentication mode command.
The type of authentication and the level to which it applies can be specified for a single ISIS interface, rather than per ISIS instance, using the isis authentication mode command.
Use the no parameter with this command to unset the authentication mode.
Command Syntax
authentication mode {md5|text} (level-1|level-2|)
no authentication mode {md5|text} (level-1|level-2|)
Parameters
md5
Keyed message digest
text
Text mode
level-1
Specify an authentication key-chain for level-1 PDUs.
level-2
Specify an authentication key-chain for level-2 PDUs.
Default
The authentication mode is set to MD5 for both levels if no level is specified.
Command Mode
Router mode
Applicability
This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.
Examples
#configure terminal
(config)#router isis 1
(config-router)#authentication mode md5 level-1
 
(config-router)#no authentication mode md5 level-1
authentication send-only
Use this command to set the send-only option at the instance level.
Use this command before configuring the authentication mode and authentication key-chain, so that the implementation of authentication goes smoothly. That is, the routers will have more time for the keys to be configured on each router if authentication is inserted only on the packets being sent, not checked on packets being received. After all routers that must communicate are configured with this command, enable the authentication mode and key chain on each router. Then, specify the no authentication send-only command to disable the send-only feature.
If the level-1-2 keyword is configured, the send-only feature applies to both levels.
Use the no parameter with this command to unset the send-only option.
Command Syntax
authentication send-only (level-1-only|level-2-only|level-1-2)
no authentication send-only
Parameters
level-1-only
Set send-only option for level-1 only.
level-2-only
Set send-only option for level-2 only.
level-1-2
Set send-only option for level-1-2 only.
Default
By default, authentication send only is disabled
Command Mode
Router mode
Applicability
This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.
Examples
#configure terminal
(config)#router isis 1
(config-router)#authentication send-only level-1-only
 
(config-router)#no authentication send-only

Use the no form of this command to set the tie-break preference value for a protection type to its default value.
To set all types of repair paths to their default priorities, do not specify a repair path with the no form of this command.
Command Syntax
fast-reroute tie-break (level-1|level-2) proto (ipv4) (primary-path|interface- disjoint|node-protecting|broadcast-interface-disjoint|secondary-path|downstream- path) index <1-255>
no fast-reroute tie-break (level-1|level-2) proto (ipv4) (primary- path|interface-disjoint|node-protecting|broadcast-interface-disjoint|secondary- path|downstream-path)
Parameters
level-1
Level 1 only.
level-2
Level 2 only.
ipv4
IPv4 address family only.
primary-path
Use a path from the Equal-Cost Multipath Path (ECMP) set. An ECMP found during the primary shortest path first (SPF) repair might not be desirable in networks where traffic exceeds the capacity of any single link.
interface-disjoint
 
Link protecting: prefer a backup path that uses a different interface than the interface used to reach destination via the primary path.
node-protecting
Bypass the primary-path gateway router which might not protect the router that is the next hop in the primary path. This ensures complete traffic protection even if the primary next-hop router fails.
broadcast-interface-disjoint
 
Do not use the interface if connected to a broadcast network. Repair paths protect links when a repair path and a protected primary path use different next-hop interfaces. However, on broadcast interfaces, if the repair path is computed via the same interface as the primary path, but their next-hop gateways are different, the router is protected but the link might not be.
secondary-path
Prefer a non-ECMP backup path.
downstream-path
Prefer a backup path to the destination which satisfies the downstream condition where the path cost to reach the destination from the LFA next hop is less than the path cost to the destination from the self node via primary next hop:
Distance_opt(N, D) < Distance_opt(S, D)
This might result in lost traffic, but prevents looping.
index
Tie breaking index. A lower value has higher preference.
<1-255>
Tie breaking index value.

ipv6 router isis
Use this command to enable ISIS IPv6 routing on the interface. This command is mandatory to IPv6 ISIS configuration. Match the ISIS instance tag to one of existing instance's tags, or a new instance with the tag name should be initiated, otherwise routing will not run on this interface.
Configuring this command, the router sends ISIS Hello with IPv6 address TLV on this interface, and IPv6 reachability information TLV in the LSP will be updated.
Use the no parameter with this command to disable ISIS IPv6 routing on the interface.
Command Syntax
ipv6 router isis WORD
no ipv6 router isis WORD
Parameters
WORD
ISIS instance name.

isis authentication key-chain
Use this command to set the key chain to be used for authentication on the interface-related packets.
Authentication mode must be set to md5 to configure the key chain. If no key chain is configured with the key-chain command, no key-chain authentication is performed. Only one authentication key-chain is applied to an ISIS interface at a time. That is, issuing a second isis authentication key-chain command overrides the first isis authentication key-chain command.
If neither the level-1 nor level-2 keyword is configured, the key chain applies to the level(s) on which the authentication mode is configured as md5. Authentication can be specified for an entire instance of ISIS, instead of at the interface level, by using the authentication key-chain command.
Use the no parameter with this command to unset the key chain used for authentication on the interface-related packets.
Command Syntax
isis authentication key-chain WORD (level-1|level-2|)
no isis authentication key-chain (level-1|level-2|)
Parameters
WORD
Chain name - valid authentication keys.
level-1
Specify an authentication key-chain for level-1 PDUs.
level-2
Specify an authentication key-chain for level-2 PDUs.
Default
By default, this option is disabled. The key chain applies to the level(s) on which authentication mode is configured as MD5 if no level is specified.
Command Mode
Interface mode
Applicability
This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.
Example
#configure terminal
(config)#interface eth1
(config-if)#isis authentication key-chain myKey level-1
isis authentication mode md5
Use this command to set the MD5 authentication mode. If the isis password command was used, then subsequently an attempt is made to use the isis authentication mode command, the attempt fails. To configure isis authentication mode command, first use the no isis password command. If the isis authentication mode command was used, then subsequently an attempt is made to use the isis password command, the attempt fails.
To configure clear text authentication using the isis password command, first use the no isis authentication mode command. The type of authentication and the level to which it applies can be specified for the entire ISIS instance, rather than per interface, using the authentication mode command.
Use the no parameter with this command to unset the MD5 authentication mode.
Command Syntax
isis authentication mode {md5|text} (level-1|level-2|)
no isis authentication mode {md5|text} (level-1|level-2|)

isis authentication send-only
Use this command to set the send-only option to the interface-related packets.
Use this command before configuring the ISIS authentication mode and ISIS authentication key-chain, so that the implementation of authentication goes smoothly. That is, the routers will have more time for the keys to be configured on each router if authentication is inserted only on the packets being sent, not checked on packets being received. After all routers that must communicate are configured with this command, enable the authentication mode and key chain on each router.
Use the no parameter with this command to unset the send-only option to the interface-related packets.
Command Syntax
isis authentication send-only (level-1-only|level-2-only|level-1-2)

isis circuit-type
Use this command to set the circuit type for the interface.
If level-1 or level-2-only is specified in this command, ISIS sends only the specified level of PDUs. On the point-to-point interface, there is only one type of Hello packet, so in this case ISIS Hello will be sent regardless of circuit-type. If is-type is configured as level-1 or level-2 only, routing for this instance is performed for only the specified level. In this manner, only the particular level of PDU is sent on the interface.
Use the no parameter to reset circuit type to the default.

isis hello-interval
Use this command to set the Hello interval in seconds. The Hello-interval is set with the hello-multiplier (see isis hello-multiplier command).
Configuring this command changes the time interval between two consecutive Hello transmissions. If a device receives its own LSP with a maximum sequence number, then it suspends ISIS for the hold interval. DIS sends Hello transmissions at three times the rate than non-DIS. If ISIS is elected as DIS on this interface, ISIS sends Hello every 3.3 seconds.
If minimal keyword is specified, Holding timer in Hello PDU is set to 1 second and Hello interval is calculated by dividing by the hello-multiplier. For example, if the hello-multiplier is configured as 4 and hello-interval minimal is the command used, an Hello PDU is sent every 250 milliseconds.
Use the no parameter to set the Hello interval to the default.
Command Syntax
isis hello-interval <1-65535> (level-1|level-2|)
isis hello-interval minimal (level-1-only|level-2-only|level-1-2)

net
Use this command to add a Network Entity Title (NET) for the instance.
On a router running ISIS, a NET can be 8 to 20 bytes in length. The last byte is always the n-selector, and must be zero. The n-selector indicates no transport entity, and means that the packet is for the routing software of the system. The six bytes directly preceding the n-selector are the system ID. The system ID length is a fixed size and cannot be changed. The system ID must be unique throughout each area (Level 1) and throughout the backbone (Level 2).
The bytes preceding the system ID are the area ID, which can be from 1 - 13 bytes in length. By default, a maximum of three NETs per router are allowed with a different area ID but the system ID should be the same for all NETs. You can increase the number of area IDs per system ID with the max-area-address command.
Use the no parameter to remove the NET.
Command Syntax
net NET
no net NET
Parameters
NET
Specify a network entity title (NET) in 1 to 13 octets (that is, XX.XXXX. ... .XXXX.XX).
Default
By default, ISIS does not configure a NET and routing is not enabled for the interface.
Command Mode
Router mode
Applicability
This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.
Example
#configure terminal
(config)#router isis bb
(config-router)#net 49.0000.0001.0002.0003.00
 
passive-interface
Use this command to suppress routing updates on all interfaces or on a specified interface, which puts the interfaces into passive mode.
To advertise passive prefixes in LSP, an interface must be configured with ip router isis when using "passive-interface" command. If interface is not configured with isis instance "passive-interface IFNAME" command must be used to add that interface as passive. Enabling passive interface on an ISIS enabled interface disables ISIS routing updates on the interface and makes the interface passive.
Use the no parameter with this command to remove interfaces from passive mode
Note: The command passive-interface IFNAME disable is used to make a particular interface active after the passive-interface command (with no parameters) has set all interfaces as passive.
Command Syntax
passive-interface
passive-interface IFNAME
passive-interface IFNAME disable
 
no passive-interface
no passive-interface IFNAME
no passive-interface IFNAME disable
Parameters
IFNAME
Interface name. If this parameter is omitted, then all interfaces become passive or active.
