Leaks from One Level to Another
In the following scenarios, each IS-IS level is configured with a different metric style.

Sample Configurations
The following configurations are examples for enabling IPv6 IS-IS. These examples are not comprehensive directions. They are
intended to give you some guidance with typical configurations.
NOTE: Only one IS-IS process can run on the router, even if both IPv4 and IPv6 routing is being used.
You can copy and paste from these examples to your CLI. To support your own IP addresses, interfaces, names, and so on, be
sure that you make the necessary changes.
NOTE:
Whenever you make IS-IS configuration changes, clear the IS-IS process (re-started) using the clear isis
command. The clear isis command must include the tag for the ISIS process. The following example shows the
response from the router:
DellEMC#clear isis *
% ISIS not enabled.
DellEMC#clear isis 9999 *
You can configure IPv6 IS-IS routes in one of the following three different methods:
