Routing ptotocols
IS-IS
IS-IS overview
 Intermediate system to Intermediate system
 --Router to Router communication.
 --Link state protocol as like OSPF
 Used in Core Service Provider Networks
--Simple and flat design
--Highly Scalable
--Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 within the same stack.
 Not an IP protocol- It’s a part of CLNS network.
--Integrated IS-IS : IP extension to IS-IS.
ENABLING IS-IS ON ROUTER:-
 Enabling IS-IS
--router isis [Process-id]
> Process id locally significant.
 Define NET address
-- net [nsap]
 Enable interfaces under ISIS process.
-- interface GigabitEthernet X/X/X/X
-- Address family IPv4 unicast.
IS-IS net addressing
Network Entity Title (NET):
-----CLNS router ID as same as RID in OSPF
IS-IS uses ISO NSAP addressing format:
----Maximum 20 bytes
----Minimum 8 bytes
NET format:
AA.AAAA.AAAA.AAAA.AAAA.AAAA.AAAA.SSSS.SSSS.SSSS.NN
----Area ID but not like link state area as in OSPF
----System ID
----N-Selector- It is always zero for a router.
IS-IS Adjacency levels
IS-IS uses two adjacency levels:
---Level 2 (L2)—Behaves as Backbone Area 0
---Level 1 (L1)---Behaves as Non Backbone Area 1
Process and interfaces default to Level-1-2
---Forms both L1 and L2
---Separate link state packet database(LSP)
-----Causing double the overhead.
IS-IS Level-2 Adjacency:-
---Inter or Intra area adjacency
---Like area 0 in OSPF
---Must be contiguous.
------Cisco IOS doesn’t support IS-IS Virtual link.
IS-IS Level-1 Adjacency:-
 For Intra area adjacency only.
 Like a not so totally stubby area.
-------Intra area routes.
-------Default route out.
-------Redistribution allowed.
IS-IS
IS-IS Level-1/Level-2 Routing:
---Acts as a ABR in OSPF
---Used as a exit point from L1 to L2 domain.
---Injects default route into Level-1
------Sets the “attached” bit
ISIS supports two level – Level 1 and Level 2. All ISIS nodes by default act as a level 1-2; a concept similar to ABR. By
default there is no flow of routing information between Level-1 and level-2. Therefore confining the instability or
changes happen in one level to propagating to other level .As per default behavior of ISIS level-1 routers will not have
any routes to prefixes in other Area. Level 1 router forward the traffic to nearest level 1-2 routers for unknown prefixes
based on attached bit set.
ISIS LSP has one octet field of which –
 Bit 8 used for partial bit
 Bit 4-7 is known as Attached bit.
–        Bit 4 – default Metric
–        Bit 5 – Delay Metric
–        Bit 6 – Expanse Metric
–        Bit 7 – Error Metric
Bit 3 is known as Overload Bit
Bit 1 & 2 are IS-Type
IS-IS
Forming IS-IS Adjacency:-
 Level of adjacency must match:
Area ID is also have to be match to form a L1 adjacency
 There are two types of Network in IS-IS unlike OSPF.
-----Broadcast
-----Point-to-Point
