Sample Congurations
The following congurations are examples for enabling IPv6 IS-IS. These examples are not comprehensive directions. They are intended to 
give you some guidance with typical congurations.
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 conguration 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:
Dell#clear isis *
% ISIS not enabled.
Dell#clear isis 9999 *
You can congure IPv6 IS-IS routes in one of the following three dierent methods:
• Congruent Topology — You must congure both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on the interface. Enable the ip router isis and ipv6 
router isis
 commands on the interface. Enable the wide-metrics parameter in router isis conguration mode.
• Multi-topology — You must congure the IPv6 address. Conguring the IPv4 address is optional. You must enable the ipv6 router 
isis
 command on the interface. If you congure IPv4, also enable the router isis command. In router isis conguration mode, 
enable multi-topology under address-family ipv6 unicast.
• Multi-topology Transition — You must congure the IPv6 address. Conguring the IPv4 address is optional. You must enable the 
ipv6 router isis command on the interface. If you congure IPv4, also enable the ip router isis command. In router isis 
conguration mode, enable multi-topology transition under address-family ipv6 unicast.
