Passive State The passive state determines whether the interface is allowed to form 
an IS-IS adjacency with the IS at the other end of the circuit. The state 
can be one of the following:
• FALSE – The passive option is disabled.  The interface can form an 
adjacency with the IS at the other end of the link.
• TRUE – The passive option is enabled.  The interface cannot form 
an adjacency, but can still advertise itself into the area.
MTU The maximum length supported for IS-IS PDUs sent on this interface. 
Authentication Password The password assigned to the IS-IS interface.
Level-1 Metric The default-metric value that the device inserts in IS-IS Level-1 PDUs for 
this interface.
Level-1 Priority The priority of this IS to be elected as the Designated IS for Level-1 in 
this broadcast network.
Level-1 Hello Interval The number of seconds the software waits between sending Level-1 
hello PDUs to the IS at the other end of the circuit.
Level-1 Hello Multiplier The number by which the software multiplies the hello interval to 
calculate the hold time set in Level-1 Hello PDUs sent on the circuit.  
Level-1 Designated IS The NET of the Level-1 Designated IS.
Level-1 DIS Changes The number of times the NET of the Level-1 Designated IS has changed.
Level-2 Metric The default-metric value that the device inserts in IS-IS Level-2 PDUs for 
this interface. 
Level-2 Priority The priority of this IS to be elected as the Designated IS for Level-2 in 
this broadcast network.
Level-2 Hello Interval The number of seconds the software waits between sending Level-2 
Hello messages to the IS at the other end of the circuit.
Level-2 Hello Multiplier The number by which the software multiplies the hello interval to 
calculate the hold time set for Level-2 Hello PDUs sent on this circuit. 
Level-2 Designated IS The NET of the Level-2 Designated IS.
Level-2 DIS Changes  The number of times the NET of the Level-2 Designated IS has changed.
Next IS-IS LAN Level-1 Hello Number of seconds before next Level-1 Hello PDU will be transmitted by 
the device.
Next IS-IS LAN Level-2 Hello Number of seconds before next Level-2 Hello PDU will be transmitted by 
the device.
Number of active Level-1 adjacencies The number of ISs with which this interface has an active Level-1 
adjacency.
Number of active Level-2 adjacencies The number of ISs with which this interface has an active Level-2 
adjacency.
Circuit State Changes The number of times the state of the circuit has changed.
Circuit State Adjacencies Changes The number of times an adjacency has started or ended on this circuit.
Rejected Adjacencies The number of adjacency attempts by other ISs rejected by the device.
Circuit Authentication Fails The number of times the device rejected a circuit because the 
authentication did not match the authentication configured on the 
device.
