1. Introduction to RBFS IS-IS

The RtBrick Full Stack (RBFS) is a distributed, web-scale network operating system based on micro-service architecture and packaged in a Linux container currently based on Ubuntu 18.04. The RBFS decreases the complexity of a network by providing users with capabilities such as composability, programmability, and elasticity in a visionary way.

The RBFS operating system operates on the leaf and spine framework. This framework provides the network operators with methods to configure and manage a network brick by brick, and provides full control of the network so the focus can be on the deployment of the new services and not the constant juggling of hardware. The Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) protocol is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) that uses link-state information to make routing decisions.

1.1. IS-IS CLI Overview

This guide provides the various IS-IS configuration and show CLI commands for RBFS. It shows you how to configure IS-IS using the confd daemon, view the command hierarchy, and make configuration changes.

2. RBFS IS-IS Instance Hierarchy

The RBFS uses a distinct hierarchy for the IS-IS statements and commands. When installed, the RBFS runs a default instance named “default.”

You can apply IS-IS configuration statements and commands at the instance, address family, or protocol IS-IS hierarchy level.

The figure below shows the IS-IS command hierarchy:

IS-IS Instance hierarchy

The table below shows the IS-IS configuration modes and CLI prompts:

Configuration Mode Prompt

Root

root@confd:/>

Instance

root@confd:/isis>

Interface

root@confd:/isis/interface>

Interface level [level-1 | level-2]

root@confd:/isis/twc-0/0/1/1/1/level-1>
root@confd:/isis/twc-0/0/1/1/1/level-2>

Address Family [ipv4 | ipv6]

root@confd:/isis/ipv4-unicast>
root@confd:/isis/ipv6-unicast>

Redistribute

root@confd:/isis/ipv4-unicast/redistribute>

2.1. Modes and Commands

All edit and set operations are performed through the configuration daemon CONFD. Their end result is similar, but the terms apply to slightly different configuration methods:

  • Mode: An “edit” is used to provide a hierarchical configuration option for the module instance.

  • Commands: A “set” is used to set the statement parameters and attributes for the module instance.

In a typical configuration session, you will use both methods.

Syntax

root@is-is-router:confd> edit instance red
[ instance red ]
root@is-is-router:confd> edit protocol isis
[ instance red protocol isis ]
Note You can execute the exit command to exit the current level of the statement hierarchy, returning to the level prior to the last edit command. To exit from the configuration mode, enter the end and exit commands.

2.2. IS-IS Instance

To enter into the IS-IS default instance mode, enter the following command:

root@rta:confd> edit instance protocol isis
[ instance protocol isis ]
root@rta:confd>

2.3. Interface

In this mode, you can configure the interface-specific IS-IS properties.

Example (Default Instance)

root@is-is-router:confd> edit interface twc-0/0/1/2/1
[ instance protocol isis interface twc-0/0/1/2/1 ]
root@rta:confd>

Example (VRF Instance)

root@is-is-router:confd> edit interface twc-0/0/1/2/1
[ instance red protocol isis interface twc-0/0/1/2/1 ]
root@rta:confd>

2.4. Level (IS-IS Interfaces)

The level mode enables you to configure the IS-IS operational characteristics of the interface at Level 1 and/or Level 2. Level 1 and Level 2 can be configured inside a logical interface. By default, an interface operates in both Level 1 and Level 2 modes.

  • Level 1: Specifies the IS-IS operational characteristics of the interface at level 1.

  • Level 2: Specifies the IS-IS operational characteristics of the interface at level 2.

Example (Default Instance)

root@is-is-router:confd> edit level-1
[ instance protocol isis interface twc-0/0/1/2/1 level-1 ]
root@is-is-router:confd> edit level-2
[ instance protocol isis interface twc-0/0/1/2/1 level-2 ]

Example (VRF Instance)

root@is-is-router:confd> edit level-1
[ instance red protocol isis interface twc-0/0/1/2/1 level-1 ]

root@is-is-router:confd> edit level-2
[ instance red protocol isis interface twc-0/0/1/2/1 level-2 ]

2.5. Redistribute

IS-IS determines support for route redistribution based on address family. The selected address family can redistribute local interface routes, static routes, routes learned by IS-IS, and so on.

The examples below show the route redistribution options:

Example (Default Instance)

root@isr1:confd> edit instance protocol isis address-family ipv4 unicast
[ instance protocol isis address-family ipv4 unicast ]
root@isr1:confd>

Example (VRF Instance)

root@ is-is-router:confd> edit instance vrf1
instance vrf1 ]
root@ is-is-router:confd> edit address-family ipv4 unicast
[ instance vrf1 address-family ipv4 unicast ]

3. IS-IS Instance Configuration Commands

3.2. area

This command specifies the ISO area.

Syntax

Syntax

set holding-time < seconds>

Command arguments

<seconds>

Specifies the adjacency expiry and the hello interval time in seconds.

Default value: 30 seconds

Range: 1 through 65535 seconds

Syntax

set isis interface twc-0/0/1/1/1 interface-type <interface-type>

Command arguments

<interface-type>

Specifies the interface type.

Note: The point-to-point is the default interface type and hence you actually do not need to configure it.

Example
root@isr1:confd> edit instance protocol isis interface twc-0/0/1/2/1
[ instance protocol isis interface twc-0/0/1/2/1 ]
[ instance protocol isis interface twc-0/0/1/2/1 ]

4.2. passive

This command sets the interface in passive mode. In this mode, no IS-IS hello packets are sent out on the interface and no IS-IS adjacencies are created. But the IP prefixes will be mentioned in the self LSP to make the network reachable via other links. You can execute this command from the interface mode.

Syntax

set isis interface twc-0/0/1/1/1 passive

Example
root@isr1:confd> edit instance protocol isis interface twc-0/0/1/2/1
