Conditions to form IS-IS adjacency
1. MTU must match.
2. IS level must match. Level 1 and level 1 router can form adjacency, level 1 router can form adjacency with level1/2 router this is because this router has two IS databases and one is level 1 database. Level 2 and level 2 router can form adjacency, level 2 router also forms adjacency with level1/2 router.
3. If level 1 router, area id must match.
4. If authentication is configured, IS-IS authentication must match.
5. IS system ID must be unique, no overlapping is allowed.
Terminology
1. Intermediate system is the router.
2. End system is the host.
Network service access point (NSAP) format
The most common format I encountered is AFI.AreaID.SystemID.N-selector format, which is about 10-byte long.
If the NET is private then AFI is 49.
There are three techniques to create system ID:
1. Use any number.
2. Use mac address.
3. use IP address and pad the ip address with 0 to make up a 6-byte system ID. Example: IPv4 address 192.168.1.1 -> 192.168.001.001 -> 1921.6800.1001.
