Configuring Integrated IS-IS Protocol Shutdown Support Maintaining Configuration Parameters

The Integrated IS-IS Protocol Shutdown Support Maintaining Configuration Parameters feature allows you to disable the Integrated Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) protocol at the interface level or at the global IS-IS process level without removing the IS-IS configuration parameters.

This module describes the tasks to configure and monitor a basic Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) network. The IS-IS process and adjacency formation are also explained. IS-IS is link-state protocol that allows the network designer to organize the network into a group of flooding domains. Often deployed as the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) for an ISP network backbone, IS-IS is capable of handling large topologies and large numbers of routing changes.

Prerequisites for Integrated IS-IS Protocol Shutdown Support Maintaining Configuration Parameters

  • Before performing the tasks in this module, you should be familiar with the concepts described in the “Integrated IS-IS Routing Protocol Overview” module.

  • You should know your network design and how you want traffic to flow through it before configuring IS-IS. Define areas, prepare an addressing plan for the devices (including defining the NETs), and determine the interfaces that will run Integrated IS-IS. To facilitate verification, a matrix of adjacencies should be prepared before you configure your devices, showing what neighbors should be expected in the adjacencies table. For more information about verifying IS-IS configuration and formed adjacencies, see “Monitoring IS-IS”.

Information About Integrated IS-IS Protocol Shutdown Support Maintaining Configuration Parameters

IS-IS Process and Adjacencies

IS-IS requires some configuration on both the device and the interface. An IS-IS process is created when you enable IS-IS on a device and define a specific tag to identify that routing process. Interfaces configured with a specific tag will be part of the corresponding device process. More than one IS-IS process can run on a device for Connectionless Network Service (CLNS), but only one IS-IS process can run for IP.

Small IS-IS networks are built as a single area that includes all the devices in the network. As the network grows larger, it is usually reorganized into a backbone area made up of the connected set of all Level 2 devices from all areas. The areas are connected to local areas. Within a local area, devices know how to reach all system IDs. Between areas, devices know how to reach the backbone, and the backbone devices know how to reach other areas.

Devices establish Level 1 adjacencies to perform routing within a local area (intra-area routing). Devices establish Level 2 adjacencies to perform routing between Level 1 areas (inter-area routing).

If the network administrator does not specify Level 1 or Level 2 routing for the routing process being configured, the default routing behavior for the routing process will be Level 1-2.

If Level 2 routing is configured on any process, additional processes are automatically configured as Level 1, with the exception of previously configured Level 2 process, which will remain Level 2. You can have only one Level-2 process. You can configure the Level-2 process to perform Level-1 routing at the same time. If Level-2 routing is not desired for a device instance, use the is-type command in device configuration mode to remove the Level-2 capability. You can also use the is-type command to configure a different device instance as a Level-2 device.

Some networks use legacy equipment that supports only Level 1 routing. These devices are typically organized into many small areas that cannot be aggregated due to performance limitations. Cisco devices are used to interconnect each area to the Level 2 backbone.

Network entity titles (NETs) define the area addresses and the system ID of the device. See the “Configuring ISO CLNS” module in the Cisco IOS ISO CLNS Configuration Guide for a more detailed discussion of NETs.

PDU Packet Types in IS-IS Routing

The OSI stack defines a unit of data as a protocol data unit (PDU). A frame therefore is regarded by OSI as a data-link PDU, and a packet is regarded as a network PDU. There are four types of PDU packets, and each type can be Level 1 or Level 2:

  • LSP—Link-state PDU. Used to distribute link-state information.

  • IIH PDU—For IS-IS this is called the IS-IS Hello PDU. Used to establish and maintain adjacencies.


Note


On point-to-point links, IIH PDUs will be the same for Level 1 and Level 2. Both Level-1 and Level-2 IIH use the same type of PDU, but they carry different circuit types.


  • PSNP—Partial sequence numbers protocol data unit (PDU). Used to acknowledge and request link-state information.

  • CSNP—Complete sequence number protocol data unit (PDU). Used to distribute the complete link-state database of a device.

IS-IS LSPs include specific information about the device’s attachments. The following information is included in multiple Type Length Value (TLV) fields in the main body of the LSP:

  • The links to neighbor device intermediate systems (ISs), including the metrics of those interfaces

  • The links to the neighbor end systems (ESs)

      DETAILED STEPS
         Command or ActionPurpose
        Step 1 enable


        Example:
        Device> enable
         

        Enables privileged EXEC mode.

        • Enter your password if prompted.

         
        Step 2 configure terminal


        Example:
        Device# configure terminal
         

        Enters global configuration mode.

         
        Step 3 isis display delimiter [return count | character count]


        Example:
        Device(config)# isis display delimiter return 3
         

        Makes output from multiarea displays easier to read by specifying the delimiter to use to separate displays of information.

         
        Step 4 exit


        Example:
        Device(config)# exit
         

        Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

         
        Step 5 show ip protocols


        Example:
        Device# show ip protocols
         

        Displays the parameters and current state of the active routing protocol process.

        • You can use this command to learn what protocols are active, what interfaces they are active on, what networks they are routing for, and other parameters that relate to the routing protocols.

         
        Step 6 show clns area-tag is-neighbors [type number] [detail]


        Example:
        Device# show clans is-neighbors detail
         

        Displays IS-IS information for IS-IS device adjacencies.

         
        Step 7 show clns interface [type number]


        Example:
        Device# show clns interface
         

        List the CLNS-specific information about each interface.

         
        Step 8 show clns area-tag neighbors [type number] [area] [detail]


        Example:
        Device# show clns area3 neighbors
         

        Displays both ES and IS neighbors.

        • The show clns neighbor command output verifies that the right adjacencies have established. A matrix of adjacencies should be prepared before you configure your devices, showing what neighbors should be expected in the adjacencies table, to facilitate verification.

         
        Step 9 show clns area-tag traffic


        Example:
        Device# show clns area3 traffic
         

        Displays traffic statistics.

        To monitor IS-IS for stability once it has been deployed across your network, enter the show clns traffic command to check the following important statistics: high numbers of SPFs, checksum errors, and retransmissions. To troubleshoot IS-IS behavior, you can use the output from the show clns traffic command to check for the following indicators:

        • The number of link-state PDUs (LSPs) can help you determine the stability of the IS-IS network. The number of LSPs should never be zero. However, an LSP count that keeps increasing over a short time period indicates a network issue.

        • LSP retransmissions should stay low. A later execution of the show clns traffic command that shows an increase in LSP retransmissions, as compared to an earlier execution of the command, can indicate instability or traffic problems.

        • To check for partial route calculations (PRCs), enter the show clns traffic command. PRCs are flooded when a change that does not affect topology is reported through an LSP; typical examples include the addition or removal of a prefix or metric changes for external or passive interfaces. A PRC update queue that remains full or increases to the maximum value for long periods of time indicates network instability.

        • LSP checksum errors indicate a problem.

        • The update queue should not stay full and should not drop much.

         
        Step 10 show ip route [ip-address [mask]] [[longer-prefixes] | protocol [process-id] | list [access-list-number | access-list-name] | static download]]


        Example:
        Device# show ip route 172.16.0.21
         

        Displays the current state of the routing table.

         
        Step 11 show isis [process-tag] database [level-1] [level-2] [l1] [l2] [detail] [lspid]


        Example:
        Device# show isis database detail
         

        Displays additional information about the IS-IS database.

        • Displays the link-state database for Level-1 and Level-2, the contents for each LSP, and the link-state protocol PDU identifier.

         
        Step 12 show isis database verbose


        Example:
        Device# show isis database verbose
         

        Displays additional information about the IS-IS database such as the sequence number, checksum, and holdtime for LSPs.

         
        Step 13 show isis lsp-log


        Example:
        Device# show isis lsp-log
         

        Displays a log of LSPs including time of occurrence, count, interface, and the event that triggered the LSP.

         
        Step 14 show isis [area-tag] [ipv6 | *] spf-log


        Example:
        Device# show isis spf-log
         

        Displays how often and why the device has run a full shortest path first (SPF) calculation.

        • If the device continues to run SPF without ceasing, there might be an issue regarding a change in the network (intra-area). The cause for the continued SPF calculations could be an interconnecting link that is transitioning up/down/up/down or a metric change. It is normal for the SPF calculation to run a few times when a network change occurs, but then it should cease.

         
        Step 15 show isis [process-tag] [ipv6 | *] topology


        Example:
        Device# show isis topology
         

        Displays a list of all connected devices in all areas.

         
        Step 16 show isis [area-tag] neighbors [detail]


        Example:
        Device# show isis neighbors detail
         

        Displays IS-IS adjacency information.

        • The show isis neighbor detail command output verifies that the right adjacencies have established. A matrix of adjacencies should be prepared before you configure your devices, showing what neighbors should be expected in the adjacencies table, to facilitate verification.

         

        Example

        When the show isis neighbors command is entered with the detail keyword, the output provides information about the IS-IS adjacencies that have formed.

        Device1# show isis neighbors detail
        
        System Id      Type Interface IP Address      State Holdtime Circuit Id
        Device2         L2   Et1/0     10.1.1.0        UP   255      Circuit3.01          
          Area Address(es): 32
          SNPA: aabb.cc00.2001      
          State Changed: 00:00:14
          LAN Priority: 64
          Format: Phase V
        

        Troubleshooting Tips

        You can use the following two system debugging commands to check your IS-IS IPv4 implementation.

        • If adjacencies are not coming up properly, use the debug isis adj-packets command.

        • To display a log of significant events during an IS-IS SPF calculation, use the debug isis spf-events command.

        Shutting Down IS-IS to Make Changes to Your IS-IS Network

        You can shut down IS-IS (placing it in an administrative down state) to make changes to the IS-IS protocol configuration, without losing your configuration parameters. You can shut down IS-IS at the interface level or at the global IS-IS process level. If the device was rebooted when the protocol was turned off, the protocol would be expected to come back up in the disabled state. When the protocol is set to the administrative down state, network administrators are allowed to administratively turn off the operation of the IS-IS protocol without losing the protocol configuration, to make a series of changes to the protocol configuration without having the operation of the protocol transition through intermediate—and perhaps undesirable—states, and to then reenable the protocol at a suitable time.

        Before the introduction of the Integrated IS-IS Protocol Shutdown Support Maintaining Configuration Parameters feature, there was no nondestructive way to disable IS-IS operation. The only way to disable IS-IS at the device level was to issue the no router isis command, which removes the IS-IS configuration. At the interface level there are two ways to disable IS-IS operation. You can enter the no ip router isis command to remove IS-IS from the specified interface, or you can put the interface into passive mode such that the IP address of the specified interface will still be advertised. In either case, the current IS-IS configuration will be removed.

            Example: Shutting Down IS-IS in Interface Mode

            The following device output shows that the device has two IS-IS adjacencies:

            Device# show clns neighbors
            
            System Id  Interface  SNPA            State  Holdtime  Type      Protocol
            first      Et3/1      0002.7dd6.1c21  Up     25        L1L2      IS-IS
            second     Et3/2      0004.6d25.c056  Up     29        L1L2      IS-IS
            

            When the isis protocol shutdown command is entered for Ethernet interface 3/1, the IS-IS protocol will be disabled for the specified interface:

            Device# configure terminal
            Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
            Device(config)# Interface Gigabitethernet 0/0
            Device(config-if)# isis protocol shutdown
            Device(config-if)# end
            

            The following device output shows that the adjacency for Ethernet interface 3/1 has not formed:

            Device# show clns neighbors
            
            System Id  Interface  SNPA            State  Holdtime  Type      Protocol
            second     Et3/2      0004.6d25.c056  Up     27        L1L2      IS-IS

            Example: Shutting Down IS-IS in Router Mode

            The following device output shows that the device has two IS-IS adjacencies:

            Device# show clns neighbors
            
            System Id  Interface  SNPA            State  Holdtime  Type      Protocol
            south      Et3/1      0002.7dd6.1c21  Up     29        L1L2      IS-IS
            north      Et3/2      0004.6d25.c056  Up     28        L1L2      IS-IS
            

            The protocol shutdown command is entered so that IS-IS is disabled and no adjacencies will be formed on any interface:

            Device# configure terminal
            Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
            Device(config)# router isis area1
            Device(config-router)# protocol shutdown
            Device(config-router)# end
            

            The following device output now shows that both adjacencies are gone.

            Device# show clns neighbors
            
            System Id  Interface  SNPA            State  Holdtime  Type      Protocol
            

            When the no protocol shutdown command is entered, the adjacencies will again be formed on both interfaces:

            Device(config)# router isis area1
            Device(config-router)# no protocol shutdown
            Device(config-router)# end
            Device# show clns neighbors
            
            System Id  Interface  SNPA            State  Holdtime  Type      Protocol
            south      Et3/1      0002.7dd6.1c21  Up     24        L1L2      IS-IS
            north      Et3/2      0004.6d25.c056  Up     24        L1L2      IS-IS
