Configure Minimum SPBM and IS-IS Parameters using auto-nni Command

Use the following procedure to configure the minimum required SPBM and IS-IS parameters using the auto-nni command to have the node create an IS-IS interface, attach the interface to an SPBM instance, and then enable IS-IS on the port interface.

This procedure is only for the port interface. The auto-nni command is not supported on the MLT interface and the Fabric Extend Logical Interface.

About this task

The auto-nni command provides a quick and simple way to configure the IS-IS interface. You can use the auto-nni command instead of the following existing IS-IS commands on the physical (port) interface:

  • isis

  • isis spbm instance

  • isis enable

The existing commands are still available and you have the option to use the new command or the three existing commands. If you need to modify any of the default parameters under isis or isis spbm instance , use isis and isis spbm instance constructs even if you created the interface with the auto-nni command.

Procedure

  1. Enter Global Configuration mode:

    enable

    configure terminal

  2. Enable SPBM globally:

    spbm

  3. Enter IS-IS Router Configuration mode:

    router isis

  4. Create the SPBM instance (only one SPBM instance is supported):

    spbm <1–100>

  5. Add the SPBM B-VLAN to the SPBM instance:

    spbm <1–100> b-vid {<vlan-id [-vlan-id][,...]} [primary <1-4059>]

  6. Configure the system nickname (2.5 bytes in the format <x.xx.xx>):

    spbm <1–100> nick-name <x.xx.xx>

    Note

    Note

    Although it is not strictly required for SPBM operation, you should change the IS-IS system ID from the default B-MAC value to a recognizable address to easily identify a switch (Log on to IS-IS Router configuration mode and use the system-id <xxxx.xxxx.xxxx> command). This helps to recognize source and destination addresses for troubleshooting purposes.

  7. Configure an IS-IS manual area (1-13 bytes in the format <xx.xxxx.xxxx...xxxx>. Only one manual area is supported.):

    manual-area <xx.xxxx.xxxx...xxxx>

  8. Exit IS-IS Router Configuration mode to Global Configuration mode:

    exit

  9. Create the SPBM backbone VLAN (B-VLAN):

    vlan create <2-4059> type spbm-bvlan

  10. Enter Interface Configuration mode, by specifying the ports or MLTs that are going to link to the SPBM network:

    interface {GigabitEthernet {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]}| mlt <1–512> }

  11. Configure an IS-IS interface on the selected ports.

    auto-nni

  12. Enable interface.
  13. Exit Interface Configuration mode:

    exit

  14. Enable IS-IS globally:

    router isis enable

  15. Display the SPBM configurations:

    show isis spbm

  16. Display the global IS-IS configuration:

    show isis

  17. Display the interface IS-IS configuration:

    show isis interface
