Configuration Steps
Step 1: Configure system hostnames and IPv6 addresses on all routers as follows.
****************************R1
sys
sysname R1
#
ipv6
#
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
ipv6 enable
ipv6 address 2001:DB5::3:2/64
#
****************************R2
sys
sysname R2
#
ipv6
#
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
ipv6 enable
ipv6 address 2001:DB5::3:1/64
#
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1
ipv6 enable
ipv6 address 2001:DB6::2:2/64
#
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/2
ipv6 enable
ipv6 address 2001:DB7::1:1/64
#
****************************R3
sys
sysname R3
#
ipv6
#
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
ipv6 enable
ipv6 address 2001:DB6::2:3/64
#
****************************R4
sys
sysname R4
#
ipv6
#
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
ipv6 enable
ipv6 address 2001:DB7::1:2/64
#
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1
ipv6 enable
ipv6 address 2001:DB8::4:1/64
#
****************************R5
sys
sysname R5
#
ipv6
#
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
ipv6 enable
ipv6 address 2001:DB8::4:2/64
#
Step 2: Configure IS-IS for IPv6 and enable it on respective interfaces as follows.
*****************************R1
isis 1
is-level level-1
is-name R1
network-entity 49.0001.0000.0000.0001.00
#
ipv6 enable topology ipv6
#
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
isis ipv6 enable 1
#
*****************************R2
isis 1
is-level level-1-2
is-name R2
network-entity 49.0001.0000.0000.0002.00
#
ipv6 enable topology ipv6
#
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
isis ipv6 enable 1
#
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1
isis ipv6 enable 1
#
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/2
isis ipv6 enable 1
#
*****************************R3
isis 1
is-level level-1
is-name R3
network-entity 49.0001.0000.0000.0003.00
#
ipv6 enable topology ipv6
#
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
isis ipv6 enable 1
#
*****************************R4
isis 1
is-level level-2
is-name R4
network-entity 49.0002.0000.0000.0004.00
#
ipv6 enable topology ipv6
#
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
isis ipv6 enable 1
#
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1
isis ipv6 enable 1
#
*****************************R5
isis 1
is-level level-2
is-name R5
network-entity 49.0002.0000.0000.000.500
#
ipv6 enable topology ipv6
#
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
isis ipv6 enable 1
#
Step 3: Verify the IS-IS status and the routing table on routers.
