Examples

The following example specifies that the number of paths IS-IS can calculate and install in the IP forwarding table is 10.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router isis
device(config-isis-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
device(config-router-isis-ipv4u)# maximum-paths 10

The following example resets the number of paths IS-IS can calculate and install in the IPv6 forwarding table to 8 (the default).

device# configure terminal
device(config)# router isis
device(config-isis-router)# address-family ipv6 unicast
device(config-router-isis-ipv6u)# no maximum-paths
