Concept Guide
IPv6 Reachability and IPv6 Interface Address. Also, a new IPv6 protocol identier has also been included in the supported TLVs. The new
TLVs use the extended metrics and up/down bit semantics.
Multi-topology IS-IS adds TLVs:
• MT TLV — contains one or more Multi-Topology IDs in which the router participates. This TLV is included in IIH and the rst fragment
of an LSP.
• MT Intermediate Systems TLV — appears for every topology a node supports. An MT ID is added to the extended IS reachability TLV
type 22.
• MT Reachable IPv4 Prexes TLV — appears for each IPv4 an IS announces for a given MT ID. Its structure is aligned with the
extended IS Reachability TLV Type 236 and it adds an MT ID.
• MT Reachable IPv6 Prexes TLV — appears for each IPv6 an IS announces for a given MT ID. Its structure is aligned with the
extended IS Reachability TLV Type 236 and add an MT ID.
By default, Dell EMC Networking OS supports dynamic host name exchange to assist with troubleshooting and conguration. By assigning
a name to an IS-IS NET address, you can track IS-IS information on that address easier. Dell EMC Networking OS does not support ISO
CLNS routing; however, the ISO NET format is supported for addressing.
To support IPv6, the Dell EMC Networking implementation of IS-IS performs the following tasks:
• Advertises IPv6 information in the PDUs.
• Processes IPv6 information received in the PDUs.
• Computes routes to IPv6 destinations.
• Downloads IPv6 routes to the RTM for installing in the FIB.
• Accepts external IPv6 information and advertises this information in the PDUs.
The following table lists the default IS-IS values.

Conguration Information
To use IS-IS, you must congure and enable IS-IS in two or three modes: CONFIGURATION ROUTER ISIS, CONFIGURATION INTERFACE,
and ( when conguring for IPv6) ADDRESS-FAMILY mode. Commands in ROUTER ISIS mode congure IS-IS globally, while commands
executed in INTERFACE mode enable and congure IS-IS features on that interface only. Commands in the ADDRESS-FAMILY mode are
specic to IPv6.
NOTE
: When using the IS-IS routing protocol to exchange IPv6 routing information and to determine destination reachability, you
can route IPv6 along with IPv4 while using a single intra-domain routing protocol. The conguration commands allow you to
enable and disable IPv6 routing and to congure or remove IPv6 prexes on links.
Except where identied, the commands described in this chapter apply to both IPv4 and IPv6 versions of IS-IS.
