Note:

The CLI commands for IS-IS discovery is applicable only for IPv4 network. Discovery of IS-IS object in an IP v6 network is SNMP-based.

Because the standards-based IS-IS MIB is used by Juniper devices but not by Cisco devices, Network Protocol Manager for IS-IS uses SNMP discovery and SNMP polling to discover and monitor the IS-IS topology for Juniper devices, and uses CLI discovery and CLI polling to discover and monitor the IS-IS topology for Cisco devices. The CLI commands that are invoked for IS-IS discovery are identified in this section, and the CLI commands that are invoked for IS-IS monitoring are identified in the VMware Smart Assurance Network Protocol Manager Configuration Guide .

Network Protocol Manager for IS-IS establishes Telnet, SSH1, or SSH2 sessions to the Cisco devices and invokes specific CLI "show" commands to discover the following routing topology objects and their relationships:

Table 1. IS-IS discovery CLI commands for IPv4 network

Command

Description

terminal length 0

Prevents the Cisco device from pausing between multiple screens of output.

Note:

During the session, the Cisco device uses the terminal length value to determine when to pause during multiple-screen output. A value of 0 prevents the device from pausing between screens of output.
