  2. Enter the router isis command to enter IS-IS router configuration mode and enable IS-IS on the device.
    device(config)# router isis
    
  3. Enter the address-family ipv4 unicast command to enable ISIS address-family IPv4 unicast configuration mode.
    device(config-isis-router)# address-family ipv4 unicast
    
  4. Enter the metric-style wide command to enable the wide metric type for Level 2 packets for the IS-IS IPv4 unicast address-family.
