Solution<br />

Increase the cost on one of the IS-IS interfaces to force traffic to use a lower-cost<br />

interface:<br />

[edit protocols isis]<br />

aviva@RouterG# set interface fe-0/0/1.0 level 2 metric 30<br />

<strong>Discussion</strong><br />

By default, each IS-IS physical interface has a cost, or metric, of 10. (The lo0 interface<br />

has a default metric of 0.) Adding a third IS-IS router to our network (see<br />

Figure 11-3), we want to force RouterG to send traffic destined for RouterD (interface<br />

address of 10.0.24.2) through RouterJ instead of RouterH.<br />

Figure 11-3. OSFP network topology with three areas<br />

With the default metric values, the cost through RouterH is 20 (a cost of 10 for each<br />

interface transited) while the cost through RouterJ is 30 (a cost of 10 for each of the<br />

three interfaces), so the router chooses the path through RouterH:<br />

aviva@RouterG> show route 10.0.24.2<br />

inet.0: 14 destinations, 14 routes (14 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)<br />

+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both<br />

10.0.24.0/24 *[IS-IS/18] 00:04:10, metric 20<br />

> to 10.0.1.1 via fe-0/0/1.0<br />

Use the traceroute command to confirm the path taken:<br />

aviva@RouterG> traceroute 10.0.24.2<br />

traceroute to 10.0.24.2 (10.0.24.2), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets<br />

1 10.0.1.1 (10.0.1.1) 10.977 ms 9.131 ms 29.827 ms<br />

2 10.0.24.2 (10.0.24.2) 9.763 ms 9.670 ms 29.863 ms<br />
