send-metric-style


Configures the router to advertise narrow, wide or both metric styles when sending IS-IS link state packets.

Syntax: send-metric-style [narrow | wide | both]

narrow

Send only the original IS-IS narrow metric style. Narrow metrics range from 0 to 63 (6 bits).

wide

Send the traffic engineering wide metric style. Wide metrics range from 0 to 17777215 (24 bits).

both

Send both metric styles.

Description: IS-IS LSPs consist of a fixed header and a number of tuples commonly known as TLVs. The traditional IS-reachability TLV contains information about IS neighbors, including one octet devoted to information about the default metric. Only 6 bits of this octet are used to store the actual metric, which limits the value of the metric to a range from 0 to 63. Traffic engineering extensions expand this limitation from the traditional 6 bits to 24 bits.

Use the send-metric-style narrow command to advertise links using the traditional narrow (6 bits) metric style.

Use the send-metric-style wide command to advertise links using the traffic engineering wide (24 bits) metric style.

Use the send-metric-style both command to advertise both the narrow and wide metric styles.

Factory Default: Narrow.

Command Mode: Router configuration.

Example: In the following example,

router#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

router(config)#router isis net1

router(config-router)#send-metric-style wide

router(config-router)#end

router#show run isis
