ISIS: TE

==> Side Effects
If there is a router somewhere else that you missed out configuring "metric-style wide" , ISIS adj will go down,

configure the R3 router with foll
router isis
metric-style transition

Here is why

metric-style transition

To configure a router to generate and accept both old-style and new-style TLVs (TLV stands for type, length, and value object), use the metric-style transition command in router configuration mode.

metric-style transition {level-1 | level-2 | level-1-2}

Syntax Description


level-1

Enables this command on routing level 1.

level-2

Enables this command on routing level 2.

level-1-2

Enables this command on routing levels 1 and 2.


Defaults

IS-IS traffic engineering extensions include new-style TLVs with wider metric fields than old-style TLVs. By default, the MPLS traffic engineering image generates old-style TLVs only. To do MPLS traffic engineering, a router needs to generate new-style TLVs.
