I can guarantee you neighbors will not form adjacencies across a multipoint
frame cloud unless you map the CLNS protocol with a DLCI.

I believe you enable CLNS routing in a multiarea situation for the automatic
injection of a default route into level 1 areas.

I have double checked on Documentation CD regarding IS-IS and the need for
CLNS. Peter is definitely right in the fact that CLNS is not required to
route IP using IS-IS. This question is for Peter and anyone else with a good
understanding of IS-IS.

Reading through the Documentation CD on Integrated IS-IS I have a question
regarding multi-area. The way I read it I am assuming that if you implement
a multi-area IS-IS solution then you in fact do need to enable CLNS routing.
Is this true? The examples given in the Documentation CD show that a single
area IS-IS network doesn't need CLNS routing but in the multi-area scenario
they have CLNS routing enabled. This isn't specifically addressed but I
assume with the need for different areas using different NET addresses
requires the CLNS protocol.

Please correct me if I have misinterpreted this.

Thanks,

Michael Popovich
