It calculates the shortest path using the SPF algorithm, supports a hierarchical structure (Level-1/Level-2), and is known for its high scalability, reliability, and fast convergence.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Mentorship Objectives</strong></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">ISIS, as a widely used IGP protocol, is already supported in FRR, the routing suite used by Sonic. However, Sonic does not yet support directly enabling and using ISIS protocol functionalities. We need to build the initialization, startup, configuration deployment of isisd in Sonic, and implement the ISIS functionality CLI in Sonic. </span></p>
