Introduction
The history of IS-IS, OSI background, terminology, addressing, ho- OSI networking works, ES-IS, IS-IS, IS types, basic
OSI configuration, other configuration parameters.
Running IS-IS in an IP environment
Integrated routing, Dual IS-IS, OSI only IS-IS, IP only IS-IS, packet formats and the use of CLNP, Basic configuration.
Ho- IS-IS works in detail
Link state theory, tuneable parameters, IS-IS metrics, hellos,
CSNP intervals, retransmissions, TLVs, Sub TLVs, Designated routers and pseudo nodes, authentication.
Level 1 and level 2 in detail
Router types, circuit types, Hot potato routing, route leaking,
Area partitioning.
Multiple addresses
Redistribution and summarisation
Tagging and filtering
A hands on course on IS-IS link state routing protocol. The main focus of the course is the use of IS-IS in an IP only environment but can be tailored to concentrate on the use of
IS-IS in CLNP networks. Hands on sessions use Cisco routers.
