Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Introduction

This document provides a sample configuration for Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) over IP version 6 (IPv6). It also discusses how to verify and troubleshoot the configuration.

Prerequisites

Requirements

Before you attempt this configuration, ensure that you meet these requirements:

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:

  • 12.2(13)T with Enterprise feature set

  • Cisco 7200 Platform

The information presented in this document was created from devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If you are working in a live network, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command before using it.

  • ping - Used to determine if a remote host is active or inactive, and the round-trip delay in communicating with the host.

    7200-2# ping 1000:1:1:1:1:1:1:1

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 1000:1:1:1:1:1:1:1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/4 ms

Troubleshoot

This section provides information you can use to troubleshoot your configuration.

  • debug isis adj-packets - Used to show the IS-IS Hello (IIH) packets going across CLNS neighbors.

Troubleshooting Procedure

Below is troubleshooting information relevant to this configuration. If IPv6 IS-IS is not working properly, follow the instructions below to troubleshoot your configuration.

  1. Ping the neighbor and make sure the pings works. If it fails, check to make sure the addresses fall in the same subnet, and also check Layer 1 and Layer 2. It is helpful to have an IPv4 address on each interface. Check to see if the IPv4 pings work, and this will help exclude any Layer 1 and Layer 2 issues.

  2. Check to see if the configuration is correct. Refer to the sample configurations in the Configurations section of this document. If the configuration appears correct, issue a debug clns adj-packets command.

    You should see IIH packets going in both directions, as shown in sample debug output below:

    Note: Before issuing debug commands on a production network, refer to Important Information on Debug Commands.

    c7200-1# debug isis adj-packets 
IS-IS Adjacency related packets debugging is on 

5d23h: ISIS-Adj: Sending L1 LAN IIH on FastEthernet3/0, length 1497 
5d23h: ISIS-Adj: Sending L2 LAN IIH on Loopback0, length 1514n 
5d23h: ISIS-Adj: Sending L2 LAN IIH on FastEthernet3/0, length 1497 
5d23h: ISIS-Adj: Rec L1 IIH from 0004.281e.e008 (FastEthernet3/0), cir type L1L2,
 cir id 2220.3330.4440.01, length 1497

  3. If the IS-IS IPv6 neighbors are not binding, check for a duplicate system-id.

For more details on configuring IS-IS over IPv6, refer to Cisco IOS IPv6 Configuration Library.
