MultiArea SPB Configuration Example

The following sections display an example to configure the two boundary nodes in the Multi-area SPB network (BG1 and BG2), to enable remote Intermediate-System-to-Intermediate-System (IS-IS), and to configure the layer 2 and layer 3 unicast redistribution.

Note

Note

You must first configure basic SPBM and IS-IS infrastructure. For more information, see SPBM configuration examples.
