undo is-level

Predefined user roles

Parameters

level-1: Specifies Level-1, which means IS-IS only calculates intra-area routes and maintains the Level-1 LSDB.

level-1-2: Specifies Level-1-2, which means IS-IS calculates routes and maintains the LSDBs for both Level-1 and Level-2.

level-2: Specifies Level-2, which means IS-IS calculates routes and maintains the LSDB for Level-2 only.

Usage guidelines

If only one area exists, configure all the routers as either Level-1 or Level-2, because the routers do not need to maintain two identical LSDBs at the same time.

If the only area is an IP network, configure all the routers as Level-2 for scalability.

Examples

# Set the IS level to Level-1 for IS-IS process 1.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] isis 1
[Sysname-isis-1] is-level level-1
