oundary. This means that the IS-IS Level 2 systems have to maintain only two<br />

link-state databases, one for the Level 1 area and the second for the Level 2 area, as<br />

compared to the OSPF ABR, which maintains a link-state database for each connected<br />

area.<br />

On broadcast, multiaccess networks, IS-IS elects a designated intermediate system<br />

(DIS), also referred to as a designated router (DR), which advertises links to all routers<br />

in the level. IS-IS elects a separate DIS for Level 1 and Level 2 areas (although<br />

they could be on the same router). DIS election is based on priority, which is a<br />

number between 0 and 127, with the router with the highest value becoming the<br />

DIS. IS-IS does not have a backup designated router.<br />

11.1 Configuring IS-IS<br />

Problem<br />

You want to configure IS-IS on a JUNOS router.<br />

Solution<br />

There are three steps to setting up IS-IS. First, define the interfaces on which IS-IS<br />

will run and the levels to which the interfaces will be attached:<br />

[edit protocols isis]<br />

aviva@RouterG# set interface fe-0/0/1<br />

aviva@RouterG# set interface fe-1/0/0 level 2 disable<br />

aviva@RouterG# set interface lo0.0<br />

Second, enable the ISO protocol family on the interfaces:<br />

[edit interfaces]<br />

aviva@RouterG# set fe-0/0/1 unit 0 family iso<br />

aviva@RouterG# set fe-1/0/0 unit 0 family iso<br />

Finally, configure a NET on the lo0 interface:<br />

[edit interfaces]<br />

aviva@RouterG# set lo0 unit 0 family iso address 49.0020.1921.6801.9001.00<br />

<strong>Discussion</strong><br />

The basic setup to get IS-IS up and running on your router is straightforward. Enable<br />

the protocol on all router interfaces that will participate in the IS-IS domain and<br />

specify the level at which they should run. This recipe configures the IS-IS on the<br />

router topology shown in Figure 11-1. Here, because interface fe-0/0/1 is a border<br />
