n
If multiple routers in the broadcast network have the same highest DIS priority, the
router with the highest MAC address becomes the DIS. This rule applies even all
routers’ DIS priority is 0.
Configuring IS-IS Timers Follow these steps to configure the IS-IS timers:
n
■
On the broadcast link, you can specify different intervals for Level-1 and Level-2
hello packets; if no level is specified, the interval applies to both Level-1 and
Level-2 hello packets, but only takes effect on the level of the current process;
if a level is specified, it applies to hello packets at this level. The point-to-point
link does not distinguish between Level-1 and Level-2 hello packets, so you
need not specify a level.
■
Hello packets are used to establish and maintain neighbor relationships. If no
hello packets are received from a neighbor within the time for receiving the
specified hello packets, the neighbor is considered dead.
■
CSNPs are sent by the DIS on a broadcast network for LSDB synchronization. If
no level is included, the specified CSNP interval applies to both Level-1 and
Level-2 of the current IS-IS process. If a level is specified, it applies to the level.
■
On a point-to-point link, if there is no response to a LSP sent by the local router
within the specified retransmission interval, the LSP is considered lost, and the
same LSP will be retransmitted. On broadcast links, responses to the sent LSPs
are not required.
■
The interval between hello packets sent by the DIS is 1/3 the hello interval set
by the
isis timer hello command.
