Explains how IS-IS advertises SRv6 capabilities and locators, enabling routers to establish SRv6 forwarding paths across an IPv6 network.
This chapter introduces SRv6 as it integrates with the Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) protocol. As network demands for agility, scalability, and programmability continue to grow, SRv6 provides a robust framework for advanced traffic engineering and simplified operations within an IPv6 environment. Here you will learn how SRv6 extends IS-IS capabilities to advertise Segment Identifiers (SIDs) and manage IPv6 data plane segments.
SRv6 IS-IS
Explains SRv6 integration with IS-IS by defining its routing components and describing how IS-IS advertises SRv6 capabilities, locators, and SIDs.
Usage guidelines for SRv6 IS-IS
States the restriction that an IS-IS address family can support either SR-MPLS or SRv6 but cannot enable both simultaneously.
Configure SRv6 IS-IS
Provides steps to enable SRv6 under an IS-IS IPv6 address family and associate a configured locator for advertising SRv6 locators and SIDs.
