Configuring an ISO Address on an Interface

Problem

You want to configure an interface to support IS-IS.

Solution

Configure the ISO protocol family on the interface running IS-IS:

[edit] aviva@RouterA# set interfaces fe-0/0/0 unit 0 family iso

Discussion

IS-IS is an OSI protocol, so you need to create an OSI family on the interface for IS-IS to work. You also need to configure one or more addresses for the loopback interface, which IS-IS uses for its interface addresses (see Recipe 7.3). Here's how to check the configuration:

aviva@router1# show interfaces fe-0/0/0.0 brief Logical interface fe-0/0/0.0 Flags: SNMP-Traps Encapsulation: ENET2 inet 192.168.220.1/30 iso
