Usage 
Information
To perform protocol-support consistency checks on hello packets, use this command. The 
adjacency-check is enabled by default.
advertise
Leak routes between levels (distribute IP prefixes between Level 1 and Level 2 and vice versa).
S4820T
Syntax
advertise {level1-into-level2 | level2-into-level1} prefix-
list-name
To return to the default, use the no advertise {level1-into-level2 | level2-
into-level1}[
prefix-list-name] command.
Parameters
level1-into-level2 Enter the keywords level1-into-level2 to advertise Level 1 
routes into Level 2 LSPs. This setting is the default.
level2-into-level1 Enter the keywords level2-into-level1 to advertise Level 2 
inter-area routes into Level 1 LSPs. This behavior is described in RFC 
2966.
prefix-list-name
Enter the name of a configured IP prefix list. Routes meeting the 
criteria of the IP Prefix list are leaked.
Defaults level1-into-level2 (Level 1 to Level 2 leaking enabled.)

Usage 
Information
You cannot disable leaking from one level to another; however, you can regulate the rate flow 
from one level to another using an IP Prefix list. If you do not configure the IP Prefix list, all 
routes are leaked.

Domain-wide Prefix Distribution with Two-
Level IS-IS
