IS-IS IPv6 Administrative Tag

The IS-IS IPv6 Administrative Tag feature allows you to assign a tag to IPv6 prefixes that you can use to apply administrative policies with a route map. For example, you can control routes redistributed between area and domain boundaries and between different routing protocols, or apply policies on Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) routes.

Information About IS-IS IPv6 Administrative Tag

IS-IS Administrative Tags in IPv6 Prefixes

You can configure an IS-IS administrative tag value for IPv6 prefixes. You can then specify the tag value of IPv6 prefixes that IS-IS inserts into the link-state protocol data units (PDUs) it generates and those that it retrieves from LSPs.
