Configure Remote IS-IS Area Virtual Node
About this task
Note
As a best practice, use the derived values for the virtual node to avoid misconfiguration between peer boundary nodes. However, you can use this procedure to override the derived values.The following list describes how the switch derives the virtual node parameters:
- The switch derives the virtual node nickname from the last 5 nibbles of the manual area address. For example, area ID 49.0001 generates a nickname of 9.00.01.
- The switch derives the system ID and system name from the nickname. For example, a nickname of 9.00.01 generates system ID 92:00:01:ff:ff:f0.
Perform this procedure to configure the area virtual node parameters like system name, system ID, and nickname on the remote Intermediate-to-Intermediate-System (IS-IS) instance.
Procedure
- In the navigation pane, expand .
- Select IS-IS Remote.
- Select the Area VNode tab.
- Configure the parameters.
- Select Apply.
