1. Introduction and Learning Outcomes


1.1 Introduction
The IS-IS protocol is another IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol) used to make routing decisions within an
AS (Autonomous System).

IS-IS works similarly to OSPF where all the routes have visibility to the entire network and can relay any
changes to the network to each other.

IS-IS is a single AS implementation and it contains of End systems and Intermediate Systems. Routing
between areas is achieved hierarchically by configuring Level 1 and Level 2 affiliations. Level 1 systems
route within an area and Level 2 is used to route traffic between areas. Hence in IS-IS, there is essentially
no backbone area.

In the OSI model, the routers are called as “Intermediate Systems” and the PC/machines are called “End
systems”. IS-IS protocol uses ISO network addresses which point to a router interface called NSAP
(Network Service Access Points).While assigning these addresses, care needs to be taken as they are
totally different from the IP addressing schemes.

The NET addresses (can be a combination of your area id, System-ID/loopback address, and N-Selector)

For example, Area 49.0001 and loopback address: 192.168.0.1 It will be: 49.0001.0192.0168.0001.00

This has been a popular protocol for the ISP (Internet Service Providers) for a long time as it is
predominantly a layer 2 protocol and is not susceptible to layer 3 attacks.

Another reason why it is widely used in the ISP networks is that it is easier to scale as it doesn’t need
each area to be connected to the backbone area. We only need to change the levels on the Routers and
then we can expand it in any direction we like a string.

1.2 Learning Outcomes


a. Learn and implement NSAP addressing to design an IS-IS network.
b. Learn and differentiate L1 and L2 links.
c. Deploy, analyze, and troubleshoot IS-IS networks

R3 2
R4 1&2
R5 1
R6 2

2.3 Tasks
2.3.1 Basic Configuration

a. Configure routers’ hostname to yourccid_<RouterName>.


b. Configure hosts’ hostname to yourccid_<HostName>.
c. Assign the IP Address to routers’ physical interfaces and loopback interfaces (if applicable) as
per 2.1 Addressing Table.
d. Assign IP addresses and configure the default gateway on all hosts as per 2.1 Addressing Table.
e. Verify point-to-point connectivity between directly connected devices.

2.3.2 IS-IS Configuration

Note: The following tasks are applicable for both IPv4 and IPv6. Hosts must not participate in IS-IS
process. Using Aggregated Routes instead of routes to each subnet is subjected to point deduction.

a. Enable ipv6 unicast routing and ipv6 cef on Cisco routers.


b. Enable IS-IS with appropriate router ID on all routers.
● Use area ID and IPv4 loopback address to calculate the router ID.
● Set correct IS-IS type for IS-IS processes, or is-circuit type for interfaces.
c. Configure all loopback interfaces as the passive interface.

2.3.3 IS-IS Advance Configuration

a. Configure global MD5 authentication between routers


● For Cisco, create a key chain named MINT2023, with the last 2 digits of your student ID
as Key ID and your CCID as MD5 password.
● For Juniper and Alcatel, use your CCID as MD5 password.
● Authentication does not apply to hello packet.
