LetвЂ™s start with a single area:ДЄbove we have two routers in a single area. LetвЂ™s look at some examples to help you visualize this. Routers will only form neighbor adjacencies with routers that use the same level. When you send and receive hello packets, you will form a neighbor adjacency. Similar to other routing protocols like OSPF and EIGRP, IS-IS routers will send hello packets. Level 1-2 is the default on Cisco IOS routers. It creates a separate level 1 and 2 link-state database and two SPF trees, one for each database. Level 1-2 system: this is a router that performs both roles.It creates a level 2 link-state database and SPF tree for the backbone. Level 2 system:В this is a backbone router that knows all intra-area and inter-area routes.It creates a level 1 link-state database and SPF tree for the area. Level 1 system: this is an intra-area router, it only knows what the local area looks like and will only learn prefixes from its own area.There is no backbone area, the backbone is formed by a string of routers. IS-IS uses different areas where the entire router sits in an area, not just one of its interfaces like with OSPF. In this lesson I will give you an overview of what IS-IS is and how it works. IS-IS is a highly scalable routing protocol, which is why it is used often on large service provider network backbones. ItвЂ™s not encapsulated in an IP packet like other routing protocols (OSPF and EIGRP) are: IS-IS also rides directly on top of an Ethernet header, using its own header format. NSAP is similar to an IP address, and it is not automatically configured so we have to understand its format. For example, when configuring a router ID (called a Network Entity Title), it has to be configured with the NSAP (Network Service Access Point Address) format. When working with IS-IS, you will see some references to CLNP/CLNS here and there. Nowadays, we use IP everywhere so you might wonder why we care about this. Later, IS-IS was adapted so that it could also route IP and is then called integrated IS-IS. Unlike OSPF which was developed by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), IS-IS was originally developed by DEC for CLNS, not IP and this is why itвЂ™s called IS-IS ( IntermediateВ System вЂ“ Intermediate System). ISO also uses some different terminology, for example:

When people thinkВ of OSI they automatically think of the OSI-model but back then, ISO (International Organization for Standardization) also created something similar to IP and UDP called CLNP (Connectionless-mode Network Protocol) and CLNS (Connectionless-mode Network Service). It forms neighbor adjacencies, has areas, exchanges link-state packets, builds a link-state database and runs the Dijkstra SPF algorithm to find the best path to each destination, which is installed in the routing table.Д«ack when OSPF and IS-IS were developed, IP wasnвЂ™t the dominant protocol that it is today. Otherwise, the user must shutdown the segment routing context of the IGP instance and delete and re-configure the prefix-sid-range command.IS-IS is an IGP, link-state routing protocol, similar to OSPF. The user can however change the SRGB on the fly as long as it does not reduce the current per IGP instance SID index/label range defined with the prefix-sid-range. In addition, any range change will be failed if an already allocated SID index/label goes out of range. The user must shutdown the segment routing context of an IGP instance in order to change the SID index/label range of that IGP instance using the prefix-sid-range command.

Furthermore, the code checks for overlaps of the resulting net label value range across IGP instances and will strictly enforce that these ranges do not overlap. Note that all resulting net label values (start-label + index} must be within the SRGB or the configuration will be failed. The user thus configures a subset of the SRGB by specifying the start label value and the prefix SID index range size. In the per-instance mode of operation, the user partitions the SRGB into non-overlapping sub-ranges among the IGP instances.
