One Comment on “Which bit should be set in the link-state PDU of an IS-IS L1/L2 router to indicate that it is a potential exit

  1. Scooby says:

    Default routing is achieved in two distinct ways with Integrated IS-IS:

    Attached bit—Set by a Level 1/Level 2 router in its own Level 1 LSP and used to indicate to all
    Level 1 routers (within the area) that this router is a potential exit point of the area. Level 1-only
    routers will default to the nearest attached Level 2 router.

    Default information originate—Can be configured in Level 1 as well as Level 2. The default route
    (0.0.0.0/0) is inserted in the router LSP (Level 1 or Level 2, according to the configuration
    command) and the LSP is flooded according to the router type (Level 1 or Level 2). A Level 2
    router doesn’t need to have a default route to originate a default route.
