Configure Remote IS-IS Global Parameters

About this task

Perform this procedure to configure remote IS-IS global parameters. SPBM uses IS-IS to discover network topology, build shortest path trees between network nodes, and communicate network information in the control plane.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > Fabric.
  2. Select IS-IS Remote.
  3. Select the Globals tab.
  4. Configure the remote IS-IS global parameters.
  5. Select Apply.

Globals Field Descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Globals tab.

Name

Description

AdminState

Specifies the global status of remote IS-IS on the switch. The default is off.

SystemId

Specifies the IS-IS system ID for the switch. Valid value is a 6–byte value in the format <xxxx.xxxx.xxxx>.

Important:

After you configure the SPBM nickname and enable remote IS-IS, if you change the system ID, you must also change the nickname. However, changing the nickname could impact the naming convention or configuration. To maintain the same nickname with a different system ID, see Job aid.

DynamicallyLearnedArea

For FAN members, specifies the remote IS-IS area that is dynamically learned from the neighbor‘s Hello PDU if the node does not have the IS-IS manual area configured.

MAOperState

Specifies the Multi-area SPB operational state:

  • Disabled – Multi-area SPB is disabled on the switch.

  • Init – the switch is initializing to function as a boundary node.

  • Designated – the switch is up and running as a designated boundary node.

  • Non-designated – the switch is up and running as a non-designated boundary node.

The default is disabled.

DesignatedBNHostName

Specifies the hostname of the designated boundary node.

DesignatedBNHomeSystemId

Specifies the system ID of the designated boundary node in the home area.

DesignatedBNRemoteSystemId

Specifies the system ID of the designated boundary node in the remote area.
