342 CHAPTER 29: IS-IS CONFIGURATION
n
If a router’s type is configured as Level-1 or Level-2, the type of interfaces must be 
the same, which cannot be changed using the isis circuit-level command. 
However, an interface’s type can be changed with this command when the 
router’s type is Level-1-2 for the establishment of a specific level adjacency.

Configuration
Prerequisites
Before the configuration, accomplish the following tasks first:
■ Configure an IP address on each interface, and make sure all nodes are 
reachable.
■ Configure basic IS-IS functions
Specifying a Priority for
IS-IS
A router can run multiple routing protocols. When a route to the same destination 
is learned by multiple routing protocols, the one with the highest protocol priority 
wins. You can reference a routing policy to specify a priority for specific routes. For 
information about routing policy, refer to “Routing Policy Configuration” on page 
415.
Follow these steps to configure the IS-IS protocol priority.
Assign a network entity title 
(NET) 
network-entity net Required
Not assigned by default 
Specify a router type  is-level { level-1 | level-1-2 | 
level-2 } 
Optional
The default type is level-1-2. 
Return to system view  quit -- 
Enter interface view  interface interface-type 
interface-number 
-- 
Enable an IS-IS process on the 
interface 
isis enable [ process-id ] Required
Disabled by default 
Specify network type for the 
interface as P2P 
isis circuit-type p2p Optional
By default, the network type 
of an interface depends on 
the physical media. The 
network type of a VLAN 
interface is broadcast. 
Specify the adjacency type for 
the interface 
isis circuit-level [ level-1 | 
level-1-2 | level-2 ] 
Optional
The default type is level-1-2.
