Assigning a convergence priority to IPv6 IS-IS routes

A topology change causes IS-IS routing convergence. To improve convergence speed, you can assign convergence priorities to IPv6 IS-IS routes. Convergence priority levels are critical, high, medium, and low. The higher the convergence priority, the faster the convergence speed.

By default, IPv6 IS-IS host routes have medium convergence priority, and other IPv6 IS-IS routes have low convergence priority.

To assign a convergence priority to specific IPv6 IS-IS routes:

Step

Command

Remarks

1. Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2. Enter IS-IS view.

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

N/A

3. Specify an IS-IS cost style.

cost-style { wide | wide-compatible | compatible }

By default, the IS-IS cost style is narrow.

4. Enter IPv6 address family view.

address-family ipv6 [ unicast ]

N/A

5. Enable IPv6 IS-IS MTR.

multi-topology [ compatible ]

By default, IPv6 IS-IS MTR is disabled.

6. Assign a convergence priority to specific IPv6 IS-IS routes.

  • Method 1:prefix-priority { critical | high | medium } { prefix-list prefix-list-name | tag tag-value }

  • Method 2:
    prefix-priority route-policy
    route-policy-name

By default, IPv6 IS-IS routes, except IPv6 IS-IS host routes, have the low convergence priority.
