isis circuit-type
Congure the adjacency type on interfaces.
Syntax
isis circuit-type {level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2-only}
To return to the default values, use the no isis circuit-type command.
Parameters
level-1 You can form a Level 1 adjacency if there is at least one common area address
between this system and neighbors. You cannot form Level 2 adjacencies on this
interface.
level-1-2 You can form a Level 1 and Level 2 adjacencies when the neighbor is also
congured as Level-1-2 and there is at least one common area, if not, a Level 2
adjacency is established. This setting is the default.
level-2-only You can form a Level 2 adjacencies when other Level 2 or Level 1-2 routers and
their interfaces are congured for Level 1-2 or Level 2. Level 1 adjacencies cannot
be established on this interface.
Defaults level-1-2

Usage Information
Because the default establishes Level 1 and Level 2 adjacencies, you do not need to congure this command.
Routers in an IS-IS system must be congured as a Level 1-only, Level 1-2, or Level 2-only system.
Only congure interfaces as Level 1 or Level 2 on routers that are between areas (for example, a Level 1-2
router) to prevent the software from sending unused hello packets and wasting bandwidth.
