Before you begin

Configure manual-area in both home and remote area.
Configure the Shortest Path Bridging MAC (SPBM) instance and backbone VLANs (B-VLAN) manually.
Configure the nickname in both home and remote area manually.
Disable Auto-sense on the port.

About this task

Perform this procedure to enable remote Intermediate-System-to-Intermediate-System (IS-IS) interface on the selected port(s).

Note

When the switch receives a Fabric Connect TLV through LLDP on a port that has remote IS-IS enabled on it, the port transitions to the Auto-sense NNI pending state. For more information, see Auto-sense Port States.

Procedure

Enter GigabitEthernet Interface Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal

interface GigabitEthernet {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...]}

Note

If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.
Enable remote IS-IS interface:

isis remote enable

Example

Enabling remote IS-IS interface on port 1/2:

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#confiure terminal
Switch:1(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 1/2
