Don't attempt the lab without knowing ISIS. You shouldn't spend as much
time on it as OSPF but then again it shouldn't take to long to get
pretty comfortable with ISIS.

Lastly there have been lots of questions on this list lately pertaining
to ISIS ;-)

Last year at the Networkers conference, Parkhurst said not to spend more
than a
day or so on ISIS. That you just needed to know the basics and that
there is a
good chance that it won't show up on your lab. Maybe this has changed
since
then.
