IS-IS Addressing
IS-IS PDUs require ISO-style addressing called network entity title (NET).
For those familiar with name-to-network service mapping point (NSAP) addresses, the composition of the
NET is identical to an NSAP address, except the last byte is always 0. The NET is composed of the IS-IS area
address, system ID, and N-selector. The last byte is the N-selector. All routers within an area have the same
area portion. Level 1 routers route based on the system address portion of the address, while the Level 2
routers route based on the area address.
The NET length is variable, with a maximum of 20 bytes and a minimum of 8 bytes. It is composed of the
following:
• area address — within your routing domain or area, each area must have a unique area value. The first
byte is called the authority and format indicator (AFI).
• system address — the router’s MAC address.
• N-selector — this is always 0.
The following illustration is an example of the ISO-style address to show the address format IS-IS uses. In this
example, the first five bytes (47.0005.0001) are the area address. The system portion is 000c.000a.4321 and
the last byte is always 0.

Multi-Topology IS-IS
Multi-topology IS-IS (MT IS-IS) allows you to create multiple IS-IS topologies on a single router with separate
databases. Use this feature to place a virtual physical topology into logical routing domains, which can each
support different routing and security policies.
All routers on a LAN or point-to-point must have at least one common supported topology when operating
in Multi-Topology IS-IS mode. If IPv4 is the common supported topology between those two routers,
adjacency can be formed. All topologies must share the same set of L1-L2 boundaries.
You must implement a wide metric-style globally on the autonomous system (AS) to run multi-topology IS-IS
for IPv6 because the Type, Length, Value (TLVs) used to advertise IPv6 information in link-state packets (LSPs)
are defined to use only extended metrics.
