I'm making changes to the isis router types as we speak to see if it changes
anything. i looked into the possibility of this being a possible summary
route and can't say for sure. In the same route table there is a summary
for for the OSPF domain .

O 182.18.0.0/16 is a summary, 10:01:24, Null0

comapred to the isis summary route of

i su 172.16.0.0/16 [115/0] via 0.0.0.0, Null0

this could be one of those cisco things. The funny thing is this keeps
comming back even after I make changes. You also made a good point in that
the 0.0.0.0 defined by the summary route is strange as well.

As far as the 0.0.0.0 generated by the L1 router in doinf some checking in
Doyle's Routing TCP/IP pg. 656-660, he mentions that there's are two ways
for the L1 router to get the default route

1. through the use of the CLNS function which knows how to interpret the ATT
bit.

2. the use of a ststic default route to 0.0.0.0 and he command
"default-information originate" on a L2 conneted device.
