Remote IS-IS Instance

The Multi-area SPB feature introduces the remote Intermediate-System-to-Intermediate-System (IS-IS) instance. You can configure the manual area, system ID, nickname, and area virtual node parameters on the remote IS-IS instance. When enabling Remote IS-IS Instance, make sure that the physical node nickname, virtual node nickname and system ID are different. To configure the remote IS-IS instance on the switch, you must:

• Configure manual area and nickname manually on the switch.
• Enable IS-IS and remote IS-IS instances on the switch, globally.
• Configure Shortest Path Bridging MAC (SPBM) instance on both home and remote IS-IS instances.
• Configure Backbone-VLANs (B-VLANs) globally on both home and remote instances.
