Chapter 9 Configuring IS-IS
Configuring IS-IS
Configuring the Attached Bit
You can configure the attached bit to control which Level1/Level2 router that the Level 1 routers use as
the default route to the Level 2 area. If you disable setting the attached bit, the Level 1 routers will not
use this Level1/Level 2 router to reach the Level 2 area.
To configure the attached bit for a Level1/Level2 router, use the following command in router
configuration mode:
Configuring the Transient Mode for Hello Padding
You can configure the transient mode for hello padding to pad hello packets when IS-IS establishes
adjacency and remove that padding after IS-IS establishes adjacency.
To configure the mode for hello padding, use the following command in router configuration mode:
Configuring a Summary Address
You can create aggregate addresses that are represented in the routing table by a summary address. One
summary address can include multiple groups of addresses for a given level. Cisco NX-OS advertises
the smallest metric of all the more-specific routes.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ensure that you have enabled the IS-IS feature (see the “Enabling the IS-IS Feature” section on
page 9-7).
Ensure that you are in the correct VDC (or use the switchto vdc command).
