ISIS
****

:abbr:`ISIS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System)` is a routing protocol
which is described in :t:`ISO10589`, :rfc:`1195`, :rfc:`5308`. ISIS is an
:abbr:`IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol)`. Compared with :abbr:`RIP`,
:abbr:`ISIS` can provide scalable network support and faster convergence times
like :abbr:`OSPF`. ISIS is widely used in large networks such as :abbr:`ISP
(Internet Service Provider)` and carrier backbone networks.

.. _configuring-isisd:

Configuring isisd
=================

There are no *isisd* specific options. Common options can be specified
(:ref:`common-invocation-options`) to *isisd*. *isisd* needs to acquire
interface information from *zebra* in order to function. Therefore *zebra* must
be running before invoking *isisd*. Also, if *zebra* is restarted then *isisd*
must be too.

Like other daemons, *isisd* configuration is done in :abbr:`ISIS` specific
configuration file :file:`isisd.conf`.

.. _isis-router:

ISIS router
===========

To start the ISIS process you have to specify the ISIS router. As of this
writing, *isisd* does not support multiple ISIS processes.

.. clicmd:: router isis WORD [vrf NAME]

   Enable or disable the ISIS process by specifying the ISIS domain with
   'WORD'.  *isisd* does not yet support multiple ISIS processes but you must
   specify the name of ISIS process. The ISIS process name 'WORD' is then used
   for interface (see command :clicmd:`ip router isis WORD`).

.. clicmd:: net XX.XXXX. ... .XXX.XX

   Set/Unset network entity title (NET) provided in ISO format.

.. clicmd:: hostname dynamic

   Enable support for dynamic hostname.

   Configure the authentication password for an area, respectively a domain, as
   clear text or md5 one.

.. clicmd:: attached-bit [receive ignore | send]

   Set attached bit for inter-area traffic:

   - receive
     If LSP received with attached bit set, create default route to neighbor
   - send
     If L1|L2 router, set attached bit in LSP sent to L1 router

.. clicmd:: log-adjacency-changes

   Log changes in adjacency state.

.. clicmd:: metric-style [narrow | transition | wide]

   Set old-style (ISO 10589) or new-style packet formats:

     Use old style of TLVs with narrow metric
   - transition
     Send and accept both styles of TLVs during transition
   - wide
     Use new style of TLVs to carry wider metric. FRR uses this as a default value

.. clicmd:: set-overload-bit

   Set overload bit to avoid any transit traffic.

.. clicmd:: purge-originator

   Enable or disable :rfc:`6232` purge originator identification.

.. _isis-traffic-engineering:

Traffic Engineering
===================

.. note::

   IS-IS-TE supports RFC 5305 (base TE), RFC 6119 (IPv6) and RFC 7810 / 8570
   (Extended Metric) with or without Multi-Topology. All Traffic Engineering
   information are stored in a database formally named TED. However, best
   acccuracy is provided without Multi-Topology due to inconsistency of Traffic
   Engineering Advertisement of 3rd party commercial routers when MT is enabled.
   At this time, FRR offers partial support for some of the routing protocol
   extensions that can be used with MPLS-TE. FRR does not currently support a
   complete RSVP-TE solution.

.. _debugging-isis:

Segment Routing
===============

This is an EXPERIMENTAL support of Segment Routing as per RFC8667
for MPLS dataplane. It supports IPv4, IPv6 and ECMP and has been
tested against Cisco & Juniper routers.

Known limitations:
 - No support for level redistribution (L1 to L2 or L2 to L1)
 - No support for binding SID
 - No support for SRMS
 - No support for SRLB
 - Only one SRGB and default SPF Algorithm is supported

.. clicmd:: segment-routing on

   Enable Segment Routing.

.. clicmd:: segment-routing global-block (16-1048575) (16-1048575) [local-block (16-1048575) (16-1048575)]

   Set the Segment Routing Global Block i.e. the label range used by MPLS
   to store label in the MPLS FIB for Prefix SID. Note that the block size
   may not exceed 65535. Optionally sets also the Segment Routing Local Block.
   The negative command always unsets both.

.. clicmd:: segment-routing local-block (16-1048575) (16-1048575)

   Set the Segment Routing Local Block i.e. the label range used by MPLS
   to store label in the MPLS FIB for Adjacency SID. Note that the block size
   may not exceed 65535. This command is deprecated in favor of the combined
   'segment-routing global-block A B local-block C D' command.

.. clicmd:: segment-routing node-msd (1-16)

   Set the Maximum Stack Depth supported by the router. The value depend of the
   MPLS dataplane. E.g. for Linux kernel, since version 4.13 the maximum value
   is 32.

.. clicmd:: segment-routing prefix <A.B.C.D/M|X:X::X:X/M> <absolute (16-1048575)|index (0-65535) [no-php-flag|explicit-null] [n-flag-clear]

   prefix. The 'no-php-flag' means NO Penultimate Hop Popping that allows SR
   node to request to its neighbor to not pop the label. The 'explicit-null'
   flag allows SR node to request to its neighbor to send IP packet with the
   EXPLICIT-NULL label. The 'n-flag-clear' option can be used to explicitly
   clear the Node flag that is set by default for Prefix-SIDs associated to
   loopback addresses. This option is necessary to configure Anycast-SIDs.

.. clicmd:: show isis segment-routing nodes

   Show detailed information about all learned Segment Routing Nodes.

    is-type level-2-only


A Traffic Engineering configuration, with Inter-ASv2 support.

First, the :file:`zebra.conf` part:
