Basic IS-IS configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 40, Switch A, Switch B, Switch C, and Switch D reside in an IS-IS AS.
Switch A and B are Level-1 switches, Switch D is a Level-2 switch, and Switch C is a Level-1-2 switch. Switch A, Switch B, and Switch C are in Area 10, and Switch D is in Area 20.

Configuration procedure
Configure IP addresses for interfaces. (Details not shown.)
Configure IS-IS:
# Configure Switch A.
<SwitchA> system-view [SwitchA] isis 1 [SwitchA-isis-1] is-level level-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] is-level level-1 [SwitchB-isis-1] network-entity 10.0000.0000.0002.00 [SwitchB-isis-1] quit [SwitchB] interface vlan-interface 200 [SwitchB-Vlan-interface200] isis enable 1 [SwitchB-Vlan-interface200] quit
# Configure Switch C.
<SwitchC> system-view [SwitchC] isis 1 [SwitchC-isis-1] network-entity 10.0000.0000.0003.00 [SwitchC-isis-1] quit [SwitchC] interface vlan-interface 100 [SwitchC-Vlan-interface100] isis enable 1 [SwitchC-Vlan-interface100] quit [SwitchC] interface vlan-interface 200 [SwitchC-Vlan-interface200] isis enable 1 [SwitchC-Vlan-interface200] quit [SwitchC] interface vlan-interface 300 [SwitchC-Vlan-interface300] isis enable 1 [SwitchC-Vlan-interface300] quit
# Configure Switch D.
<SwitchD> system-view [SwitchD] isis 1 [SwitchD-isis-1] is-level level-2 [SwitchD-isis-1] network-entity 20.0000.0000.0004.00 [SwitchD-isis-1] quit [SwitchD] interface vlan-interface 100 [SwitchD-Vlan-interface100] isis enable 1 [SwitchD-Vlan-interface100] quit [SwitchD] interface vlan-interface 300 [SwitchD-Vlan-interface300] isis enable 1 [SwitchD-Vlan-interface300] quit
Verifying the configuration
# Display the IS-IS LSDB on each switch to verify the LSPs.
