Chapter 4 - IS-IS - Deployment in IP Networks

Chapter 4 discusses the structure of network designs, highlighting the core, distribution, and access layers in a three-layer design, and core and aggregation layers in a two-layer design. It emphasizes the importance of managing intermediate systems within a single domain for easier configuration and the challenges of domain partitioning in IS-IS networks. Additionally, it covers the significance of IP route summarization and the impact of timer settings on network convergence.

Chapter 4 | IS-IS: Deployment in IP Networks

Chapter 4

1:What layers is a network normally divided into in a three-layer


design? A two-layer design?
A1:A three-layer network design normally has core, distribution,
and access layers. A two-layer design usually has core and
aggregation layers.
2:Why does putting all of the intermediate systems in a single
domain simplify the configuration of the devices in the
network?
A2:Because all of the intermediate systems will be in the same area,
so it is easier to assign addresses and manage them.
3:How can you summarize IP addresses or hide information in a
network consisting of a single large routing domain?
A3:You cannot summarize IP destinations or hide information in a
network which has only one routing domain. Since all of the
intermediate systems in the network are within the same area,
they must all have the same database.
4:Why should you consider the results of a domain partition when
deciding how to build an IS-IS network with multiple domains?

A4:Because partitions in level 1 routing areas are difficult to heal,


and can cause routing black holes. A partitioned level 2 area
cannot be healed, and can also introduce routing black holes.
5:Why should you consider IP route summarization when
dividing a network into multiple routing domains?
A5:Because the only place multiple IP destinations can be
summarized is at an L1/L2 border.
6:What is the point of summarizing IP addresses?
A6:To reduce the apparent complexity of the network beyond the
summarization point by presenting several IP destinations as a
single destination.
7:How does the setting of the different timers affect convergence
in a network?
A7:The timers in an IS-IS network should be set to balance between
network stability and convergence require-ments. The LSP
flooding and aging timers affect the level of control traffic on the
network, but do not affect convergence times at all. The hello
and hold intervals affect how long a neighbor can be down
before the adjacency loss is noted and acted on. The SPF interval
affects how long the router waits after receiving information
about a network topology change before running SPF. The LSP
generation interval determines how quickly an IS will transmit
information about changes in the network topology.
