Segment-routing IS-IS example

When utilizing VyOS in an environment with Cisco IOS-XR gear you can use this blue print as an initial setup to get MPLS ISIS-SR working between those two devices.The lab was build using EVE-NG.

ISIS-SR example network

The below configuration is used as example where we keep focus on VyOS-P1/VyOS-P2/XRv-P3 which we share the settings.

Configuration

  • VyOS-P1:

This gives us MPLS segment routing enabled and labels forwarding :
