The correct answer is D. Configure the IS-IS IPv6 metric on the dual-stack links. To enable IS-IS to operate in multitopology mode and support IPv6 on a dual-stack network, the team must configure IPv6-specific parameters on the network links.
Question
The network team is planning to implement IPv6 on the company’s existing IPv4 network infrastructure. The network currently uses IS-IS to share routes between peers. Which task must the team perform so that IS-IS will run in multitopology mode on the updated IPv6 network?
Options
- AConfigure the links between the network routers as point-to-point.
- BConfigure the network routers to use metric-style wide.
- CConfigure the network routers as Level 2 routers.
- DConfigure the IS-IS IPv6 metric on the dual-stack links.

Why each option
To enable IS-IS to operate in multitopology mode and support IPv6 on a dual-stack network, the team must configure IPv6-specific parameters on the network links.
Configuring links as point-to-point is a general IS-IS interface type configuration and does not specifically enable IPv6 routing or multitopology mode.
Configuring `metric-style wide` extends the metric range for IS-IS, allowing for larger topologies, but it does not enable IPv6 routing itself.
Configuring routers as Level 2 routers defines their routing domain participation but is unrelated to enabling IPv6 multitopology routing.
Configuring the IS-IS IPv6 metric on dual-stack links is essential for enabling IS-IS to recognize and route IPv6 traffic alongside IPv4. This action explicitly instructs the IS-IS process to include these interfaces in the IPv6 routing topology, thereby activating multitopology mode for IPv6. This allows IS-IS to build separate SPF trees for IPv4 and IPv6.
