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,
<  What you are seeing is normal behavior with IS-IS, basically it treats
<  each
<  level-1 router as a stub area. It will send a default route to a
<  level-1 area. IF you have a level-1-2 domain you can configure route
<  leaking
<  so that the individual routes will show up with the default. For more
<  information on that see the following link:

<  Subject: isis and ATT bit=1
<  
<  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:)
