Parameters

is-name: Assigns a hostname to the device, a string of 1 to 64 characters.

Usage guidelines

ISIS-SPB uses a 6-byte system ID to represent a node in the network. This representation method is difficult for administrators to identify devices when they examine ISIS-SPB adjacencies, FDB entries, and LSDB entries.

Dynamic hostname exchange enables you to assign a symbolic hostname to each SPBM node. ISIS-SPB advertises this information in the Dynamic hostname TLV in LSPs to remote LSDBs.

Examples

# Enable dynamic hostname exchange and assign the ISIS-SPB hostname spbm to the device.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] spbm
[Sysname-spbm] is-name spbm
