By default, no IS-IS process is
enabled.
Configuring the IS level and circuit level
Follow these guidelines when you configure the IS level for routers in only one area:
• 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. This will
limit neighbor relationship establishment.

By default, an interface can establish
either the Level-1 or Level-2
adjacency.
Configuring P2P network type for 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. However, P2P interfaces
on a network do not need to elect the DIS, and have a different LSDB synchronization mechanism.
