By default, no IS-IS process is
enabled.
671BConfiguring the IS level and circuit level
If only one area exists, perform the following operations:
• Configure the IS level of all routers as Level-1 or Level-2 rather than different levels because the
routers do not need to maintain two identical LSDBs.
• Configure the IS level as Level-2 on all routers in an IP network for good scalability.
For an interface of a Level-1 (or Level-2) router, the circuit level can only be Level-1 (or Level-2). For an
interface of a Level-1-2 router, the default circuit level is Level-1-2. If the router only needs to form Level-1 (or
Level-2) neighbor relationships, configure the circuit level for its interfaces as Level-1 (or Level-2) to limit
neighbor relationship establishment.

By default, an interface can establish
either the Level-1 or Level-2
adjacency.
672BConfiguring P2P network type of an interface
Perform this task only for a broadcast network that has up to two attached routers.
Interfaces with different network types operate differently. For example, broadcast interfaces on a
network must elect the DIS and flood CSNP packets to synchronize the LSDBs, but P2P interfaces on a
network do not need to elect the DIS, and have a different LSDB synchronization mechanism.
If only two routers exist on a broadcast network, configure the network type of attached interfaces as P2P
to avoid DIS election and CSNP flooding, saving network bandwidth and speeding up network
convergence.
