Configuring IS-IS PIC

Prefix Independent Convergence (PIC) enables the device to speed up network convergence by ignoring the number of prefixes.

When both IS-IS PIC and IS-IS FRR are configured, IS-IS FRR takes effect.

IS-IS PIC applies only to LSPs sent by neighbors.

Enabling IS-IS PIC

Command

Remarks

1. Enter system view.

2. Enter IS-IS view.

isis [ process-id ] [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]

N/A

3. Enable PIC for IS-IS.

pic [ additional-path-always ]

By default, IS-IS PIC is enabled.

Enabling BFD for IS-IS PIC

By default, IS-IS PIC does not use BFD to detect primary link failures. To speed up IS-IS convergence, enable BFD for IS-IS PIC to detect primary link failures.

To enable BFD control packet mode for IS-IS PIC:

N/A

3. Enable BFD control packet mode for IS-IS PIC.

isis primary-path-detect bfd ctrl

By default, BFD control packet mode is disabled for IS-IS PIC.

To configure BFD echo packet mode for IS-IS PIC:

Step

Command

Remarks

1. Enter system view.

N/A

2. Configure the source IP address of BFD echo packets.

bfd echo-source-ip ip-address

By default, the source IP address of BFD echo packets is not configured.

The source IP address cannot be on the same network segment as any local interface's IP address.

For more information, see High Availability Command Reference.

3. Enter interface view.

N/A

4. Enable BFD echo packet mode for IS-IS PIC.

isis primary-path-detect bfd echo

By default, BFD echo packet mode is disabled for IS-IS PIC.
