Number of BEBs this node can share services with (Layer 2 VSNs, Layer 3 VSNs, E-Tree, Multicast, Transparent Port UNI). Note:
vIST clusters are counted as 3 nodes. Each Fabric Extend IS-IS adjacency or VXLAN remote VTEP reduces this number by 1. |

The number of I-SIDs supported depends on the number of IS-IS interfaces and adjacencies (NNIs) configured.
The following table shows the number of UNI I-SIDs supported per BEB. UNI I-SIDs are used for Layer 2 VSN, Layer 3 VSN, Transparent-UNI, E-Tree, Switched-UNI and S, G for Multicast.

BEBs running VOSS 5.0 can advertise routes into IS-IS with the metric type as external. They can also correctly interpret route advertisements with metric type external received via IS-IS. In an SPB network with a mix of products running different versions of software releases, you must take care to ensure that turning on the ability to use metric-type external does not cause unintended loss of connectivity.
Note the following before turning on IS-IS external metric if the SPB network has switches running a release prior to VOSS 5.0:
There are no special release or product type implications if the switch does not have IP Shortcuts or Layer 3 VSN enabled. For example, this applies to Layer 2 only BEBs and BCBs.
There are no special release or product type implications if the Layer 3 VSN in which routes are being advertised with a metric-type of external is not configured on the switch.
If a switch running a VOSS release that is prior to VOSS 5.0 but VOSS 4.2.1 or later, it will treat all IS-IS routes as having metric-type internal, regardless of the metric-type (internal or external) used by the advertising BEB in its route advertisement.
Switches running VSP 9000 Series release 4.1.0.0 or later will treat all IS-IS routes as having metric-type internal, regardless of the metric-type (internal or external) used by the advertising BEB in its route advertisement.
Switches running VOSS releases prior to 4.2.1.0 might not correctly install IS-IS routes in a Layer 3 VSN if any routes advertised with metric-type external are advertised in that Layer 3 VSN by other BEBs in the network. Layer 3 VSNs in which there are no routes with an external metric-type will not be impacted. Similar note applies to the GRT.
Switches running VSP 9000 Series releases prior to 4.1.0.0 might not correctly install IS-IS routes in a Layer 3 VSN if any routes advertised with metric-type external are advertised in that Layer 3 VSN by other BEBs in the network. Layer 3 VSNs in which there are no routes with an external metric-type will not be impacted. Similar note applies to GRT.
Switches running any ERS 8800 release might not correctly install IS-IS routes in a Layer 3 VSN if any routes advertised with metric-type external are advertised in that Layer 3 VSN by other BEBs in the network. Layer 3 VSNs in which there are no routes with an external metric-type will not be impacted. Similar note applies to GRT.
