Configuring basic IS-IS
Configuration prerequisites
Before the configuration, complete the following tasks:
• Configure the link layer protocol.
• Configure IP addresses for interfaces to ensure IP connectivity between neighboring nodes.
Enabling IS-IS

1. Enter system view.

2. Create an IS-IS process and enter
its view.

By default, the IS-IS process is
disabled.

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) to limit
neighbor relationship establishment.
