isis priority


Assigns the priority for determining a designated router on a broadcast network.

Syntax: isis priority value [level-1 | level-2]

no isis priority

value

Priority of a router. Valid values are 0 - 255.

level-1

Priority for Level 1.

level-2

Priority for Level 2.

Description: On broadcast networks, each router is given a priority used in negotiations to determine which router should act as the designated router. Priorities are advertised in Hello packets.

The router with the highest priority (the highest number in the priority field) is chosen as the designated router. If two routers tie for the highest priority, the router with the highest MAC address is selected as the designated router. A priority of 0 reduces the chance that the router will be selected as the designated router, but does not prevent it.

Use the isis priority value command to configure the priority for the interface. If no level is specified, the command configures the password for level-1 routing only.

Use the isis priority value or the isis priority value level-1 command to configure the priority for level-1 (intra-area) routing.

Use the isis priority value level-2 command to configure the priority for level-2 (inter-area) routing.

Use the no isis priority command to set the priority at the default value of 64.

Factory Default: 64.

Command Mode: Interface configuration.

Example: In the following example:

router(config)#router isis 0

router(config-router)#net 49.0001.0000.0000.1111.00

router(config-router)#interface pos 1/5/1

router(config-if)#ip router isis 0
