Figure 35 IS-IS topology 1
Figure 36 shows another IS-IS topology. The Level-1-2 routers connect to the Level-1 and Level-2 routers,
and form the IS-IS backbone together with the Level-2 routers. No area is defined as the backbone in this
topology. The backbone comprises all contiguous Level-2 and Level-1-2 routers in different areas.

NOTE:
The IS-IS backbone does not need to be a specific area.
Both the Level-1 and Level-2 routers use the SPF algorithm to generate the shortest path tree.
Route leaking
Level-2 and Level-1-2 routers form a Level-2 area. An IS-IS routing domain comprises only one Level-2 area
and multiple Level-1 areas. A Level-1 area must connect to the Level-2 area rather than other Level-1 areas.
The routing information of each Level-1 area is sent to the Level-2 area through a Level-1-2 router, so a
Level-2 router knows the routing information of the entire IS-IS routing domain. By default, a Level-1-2
