Implementing IS-IS
Integrated Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), is a
standards-based Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP). The Cisco software implements the IP routing capabilities
described in International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Engineering Consortium (IEC)
10589 and RFC 1195, and adds the standard extensions for single topology and multitopology IS-IS for IP
Version 6 (IPv6).
This module describes how to implement IS-IS (IPv4 and IPv6) on your Cisco IOS XR network.

Prerequisites for Implementing IS-IS
You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. The command
reference guides include the task IDs required for each command. If you suspect user group assignment is
preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
Restrictions for Implementing IS-IS
When multiple instances of IS-IS are being run, an interface can be associated with only one instance (process).
Instances may not share an interface.
Information About Implementing IS-IS
To implement IS-IS you need to understand the following concepts:
