Reference Guide
You can configure only one IS-IS routing process to perform Level 2 routing. A 
level-1-2 designation performs Level 1 and Level 2 routing at the same time.

attaches an area designator to the routing process.

• is-type — assigns a type for a given area.
set-overload-bit
To set the overload bit in its non-pseudonode LSPs, configure the router. This setting prevents other 
routers from using it as an intermediate hop in their shortest path first (SPF) calculations.

Usage 
Information
Set the overload bit when a router experiences problems, such as a memory 
shortage due to an incomplete link state database which can result in an 
incomplete or inaccurate routing table. If you set the overload bit in its LSPs, other 
routers ignore the unreliable router in their SPF calculations until the router has 
recovered.
