DIS election configuration example

Network requirements

As shown in Figure 40, Switches A, B, C, and D reside in IS-IS area 10 on a broadcast network (Ethernet). Switch A and Switch B are Level-1-2 switches, Switch C is a Level-1 switch, and Switch D is a Level-2 switch.

Change the DIS priority of Switch A to make it elected as the Level-1-2 DIS router.

Configuration procedure

  1. Configure IP addresses for interfaces. (Details not shown.)

  2. Enable IS-IS:

    # Configure Switch A.

    <SwitchA> system-view
    [SwitchA] isis 1
    [SwitchA-isis-1] network-entity 10.0000.0000.0001.00
    [SwitchA-isis-1] quit
    [SwitchA] interface vlan-interface 100
    [SwitchA-Vlan-interface100] isis enable 1
    [SwitchA-Vlan-interface100] quit
    

    # Configure Switch B.

    <SwitchB> system-view
    [SwitchB] isis 1
    [SwitchB-isis-1] network-entity 10.0000.0000.0002.00
    [SwitchB-isis-1] quit
    [SwitchB] interface vlan-interface 100
    [SwitchB-Vlan-interface100] isis enable 1
    [SwitchB-Vlan-interface100] quit
    

    # Configure Switch C.

    <SwitchC> system-view
    [SwitchC] isis 1
    [SwitchC-isis-1] network-entity 10.0000.0000.0003.00
    [SwitchC-isis-1] is-level level-1
    [SwitchC-isis-1] quit
    [SwitchC] interface vlan-interface 100
    [SwitchC-Vlan-interface100] isis enable 1
    [SwitchC-Vlan-interface100] quit
    

    # Configure Switch D.

    <SwitchD> system-view
    [SwitchD] isis 1
    [SwitchD-isis-1] network-entity 10.0000.0000.0004.00
    [SwitchD-isis-1] is-level level-2
    [SwitchD-isis-1] quit
    [SwitchD] interface vlan-interface 100
    [SwitchD-Vlan-interface100] isis enable 1
    [SwitchD-Vlan-interface100] quit

    The output shows that when the default DIS priority is used, Switch C is the DIS for Level-1, and Switch D is the DIS for Level-2. The pseudonodes of Level-1 and Level-2 are 0000.0000.0003.01 and 0000.0000.0004.01.
