Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.2(0.0) Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage Information
You can configure priorities independently for Level 1 and Level 2. Priorities determine which router on a LAN is
the designated router. Priorities are advertised within hellos. The router with the highest priority becomes the
designated intermediate system (DIS).
NOTE: Routers with a priority of 0 cannot be a designated router.
Setting the priority to 0 lowers the chance of this system becoming the DIS, but does not prevent it. If all the
routers have priority 0, one with highest MAC address becomes DIS even though its priority is 0.
is-type
Configure IS-IS operating level for a router.
Syntax
is-type {level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2-only}
To return to the default values, use the no is-type command.
Parameters
level-1 Allows a router to act as a Level 1 router.
level-1-2 Allows a router to act as both a Level 1 and Level 2 router. This setting is the default.
level-2-only Allows a router to act as a Level 2 router.
Defaults level-1-2

Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.2(0.0) Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage Information
The IS-IS protocol automatically determines area boundaries and are able to keep Level 1 and Level 2 routing
separate. Poorly planned use of this feature may cause configuration errors, such as accidental area partitioning.
