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.

.. index:: [no] router isis WORD
.. clicmd:: [no] router isis WORD

   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`).

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

.. index:: [no] segment-routing on

.. index:: [no] segment-routing global-block (0-1048575) (0-1048575)

   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.

.. index:: [no] segment-routing local-block (0-1048575) (0-1048575)
.. clicmd:: [no] segment-routing local-block (0-1048575) (0-1048575)

   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.

.. clicmd:: [no] segment-routing node-msd (1-16)

   MPLS dataplane. E.g. for Linux kernel, since version 4.13 the maximum value
   is 32.

   Set the Segment Routing index or absolute label value for the specified
   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.

ISIS Configuration Examples

    metric-style wide
    is-type level-2-only


A Traffic Engineering configuration, with Inter-ASv2 support.

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

.. code-block:: frr
