Usage 
Information
You cannot disable leaking from one level to another; however, you can regulate the rate flow 
from one level to another using an IP Prefix list. If you do not configure the IP Prefix list, all 
routes are leaked.
You can find additional information in IETF RFC 2966, 
Domain-wide Prefix Distribution with Two-
Level IS-IS
.
