Disabling an interface from sending or receiving IS-IS packets
After being disabled from sending or receiving hello packets, an interface cannot form a neighbor
relationship, but can advertise directly connected networks in LSPs through other interfaces. This can save
bandwidth and CPU resources, and ensures other routers know networks directly connected to the
interface.
Follow these steps to disable an interface from sending and receiving IS-IS packets:

Enabling an interface to send small hello packets
IS-IS messages cannot be fragmented at the IP layer because they are directly encapsulated into frames.
Any two IS-IS neighboring routers must negotiate a common MTU. To avoid sending big hellos for saving
bandwidth, enable the interface to send small hello packets without CLVs.

Specify the maximum age of LSPs
Each LSP has an age that decreases in the LSDB. Any LSP with an age of 0 is deleted from the LSDB. You
can adjust the age value based on the scale of a network.
