Thanks to both of you guys, John, Scott,

I think this clears things in my head now, your answers are exactly what I saw while playing with isis, I was a little confused cause in TCP/IP vol.1 Jeff Doyle is suggesting this two extra configs in order for default route to be propagated to L1 routers?

< Hello Kaloyan,

< level-1 area. IF you have a level-1-2 domain you can configure route

< Hi Group,
<
< just a dumb question about isis and IOS ver 12.2, I'm just having two
< areas
< and one router in one area and two in the other one, the two routers are
< L1
< and L1/L2 and the other one is L2 or L2/L1, I just want to know whether
< we
< have to use clns router isis command on L2/L1 iterface connecting /w L1
< router or alternatively default-information originate and default static
< route to null interface in order to propagate default route to L1
< router?
< The behaviour that I saw was that even without any of the above
< configuration there was a default route created in L1 routing table?
< Thanks
< in advance:)
