IS-IS IPv6 Advertise Passive Only

The IS-IS IPv6 Advertise Passive Only feature allows you to configure the Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) instance on a device to advertise only IPv6 prefixes that belong to passive interfaces and exclude other connected IPv6 prefixes.

Finding Feature Information

Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest caveats and feature information, see Bug Search Tool and the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the feature information table.

Prerequisites for IS-IS IPv6 Advertise Passive Only

Before you can use the IS-IS IPv6 Advertise Passive Only feature to exclude IPv6 prefixes of connected networks from IS-IS link-state protocol (LSP) data unit advertisements, the integrated IS-IS routing protocol must be configured. See the “Configuring a Basic IS-IS Network” section of the IP Routing: ISIS Configuration Guide.

Information About IS-IS IPv6 Advertise Passive Only

IPv6 Prefixes Only Allowed on Passive Interfaces

You can configure the IS-IS instance on a device to allow only IPv6 prefixes that belong to passive interfaces in its LSP advertisements. This configuration reduces the number of IPv6 prefixes carried in the LSP advertisement.

How to Configure IS-IS IPv6 Advertise Passive Only

DETAILED STEPS
     Command or ActionPurpose
    Step 1 enable


    Example:
    Device> enable
     

    Enables privileged EXEC mode.

    • Enter your password if prompted.

     
    Step 2 configure terminal


    Example:
    Device# configure terminal
     

    Enters global configuration mode.

     
    Step 3 router isis [area-tag]


    Example:
    Device(config)# router isis area1
     

    Configures an IS-IS routing process for IP on an interface, attaches an area designator to the routing process, and enters router configuration mode.

     
    Step 4net net1


    Example:
    Device(config-router)# net 47.0010.0000.0000.0000.0001.0001.1111.1111.1111.00
     

    Configures an IS-IS network entity table (NET) for the routing process.

     
    Step 5 interface loopback number


    Example:
    Device(config-router)# interface loopback 0
     

    Configures a loopback interface and enters interface configuration mode.

     
    Step 6 ipv6 address {ipv6-address/prefix-length | prefix-name sub-bits/prefix-length}


    Example:
    Device(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:688:1001:1000::1/128
     

    Sets a primary IPv6 address for an interface.

     
    Step 7 exit


    Example:
    Device(config-if)# exit
     

    Returns to global configuration mode.

     
    Step 8 interface type number


    Example:
    Device(config)# interface FastEthernet 0/0
     

    Configures an interface type and enters interface configuration mode.

     
    Step 9 ipv6 address {ipv6-address/prefix-length | prefix-name sub-bits/prefix-length}


    Example:
    Device(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:688:1001:100A::1/64
     

    Configures an IPv6 address for the interface.

     
    Step 10 ipv6 router isis [area-tag]


    Example:
    Device(config-if)# ipv6 router isis area1
     

    Configures an IS-IS routing process for IPv6 on an interface, attaches an area designator to the routing process, and enters router configuration mode.

     
    Step 11 exit


    Example:
    Device(config-if)# exit
     

    Returns to global configuration mode.

     
    Step 12 router isis [area-tag]


    Example:
    Device(config)# router isis area1
     

    Configures an IS-IS routing process for IP on an interface, attaches an area designator to the routing process, and enters router configuration mode.

     
    Step 13 passive-interface [default] type number


    Example:
    Device(config-router)# passive-interface loopback 0
     

    Disables sending routing updates on an interface.

     
    Step 14 address-family ipv6


    Example:
    Device(config-router)# address-family ipv6
     

    Enters address family configuration mode.

     
    Step 15 advertise passive-only


    Example:
    Device(config-router-af)# advertise passive-only
     

    Configures IS-IS to advertise only IPv6 prefixes that belong to passive interfaces.

     
    Step 16 end


    Example:
    Device(config-router-af)# end
     

    (Optional) Saves the configuration commands to the running configuration file and returns to privileged EXEC mode.
