R3303-HP HSR6800 Routers Layer 3 - IP Routing Configuration Guide
141
• 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.
To configure the IS level and circuit level:

Command
Remarks
1. Enter system view.

2. Enter IS-IS view.

3. Specify the IS level.
is-level { level-1 | level-1-2 |
level-2 }
Optional.
The default is Level-1-2.
4. Return to system view.

6. Specify the circuit level.
isis circuit-level [ level-1 | level-1-2
| level-2 ]
Optional.
An interface can establish either the
Level-1 or Level-2 adjacency by
default.
Configuring the network type of an interface as P2P
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.

By default, the network type
of an interface depends on
the physical media.
