Purpose
Use the ietf keyword to enable IS-IS in homogeneous
network where adjacencies with networking devices
supporting IETF draft-based restartability is guaranteed.
Use the cisco keyword to run IS-IS in heterogeneous
networks that might not have adjacencies with NSF-aware
networking devices.
(Optional) Specifies the minimum time between NSF restart
attempts. The default time between consecutive NSF restart
attempts is 5 minutes.
(Optional) Specifies the time IS-IS will wait for the IS-IS
database to synchronize before generating overloaded
link-state information for itself and flooding that information
out to its neighbors.
The t3 keyword applies only if you selected ietf operation.
Specifying adjacency means that the restarting router
obtains its wait time from neighboring devices.
(Optional) Specifies how long an IS-IS NSF restart will wait
for all interfaces with IS-IS adjacencies to come up before
completing the restart. The default is 10 seconds.
