The virtual-system command configures the virtual system ID for the IS-IS process. Without the ID, the extended LSPs are not generated. An IS-IS process can generate a maximum of 50 virtual system IDs.
The undo virtual system virtual-system-id command deletes the virtual system ID.
By default, no virtual system ID is configured for an IS-IS process.
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| virtual-system-id | Specifies the virtual system ID for the IS-IS process. | It has 6 bytes (or 48 bits) in the format of XXXX.XXXX.XXXX. |
This command is valid for all topologies in an IS-IS process.
Like the general ID, the virtual ID must be unique in the entire area.
The virtual-system command should be used together with the lsp-fragments-extend command. The configured virtual system ID can take effect only after LSP fragment extension is enabled and the IS-IS process is restarted by using the reset isis all command.
If neither LSP fragment extension is enabled nor the IS-IS process is restarted, the virtual system ID can be configured but cannot take effect.
