Greetings Tim,

Really?
I thought for sure IPv6 required this??
Something about the TLV's which advertise IPv6 info only being able to use
wide metrics...

I had not intended the question to be interpreted in the context of use for
IPv4 metrics > 63
Sorry if the question was not clear the way it was worded.

mark,

Unless you're told to use wide metrics either explicitly (unlikely) or
implicitly ( count the ways this could be done), I wouldn't start adding
misc commands to your config except for alias' or other "shopkeeping"
functions.

Unless you need to have isis metrics that go higher than 63, I think, don't
bother.

But, to each their own.

Tim

Greetings GS,

Aside from the extra TLV's generated...
Is it a good idea to use this option in the lab?
Are there other reasons we should stick to "wide"?

TIA,
