John,
My intent is not to debate or attack. Like you, I believe that we should
focus on the solutions.
When you mentioned that the default route was 'sent' into Level 1 areas, I
merely wanted to point out that this is not actually what happens. The link
that you referenced does say exactly that, so it appears that we are on the
same page here.
Whether mistyping in your original message, or whatever the reason, it
appears to be fixed! :) but rest assured that I have no desire to attack
you personally, or other individuals. I'm sure I can find at least a few
things that are a better use of my time.
Cheers,

Subject: RE: isis and ATT bit=1
Hello Scott,
The default route is installed per Cisco doc.
"A Level 1/Level 2 router that is attached to another area will set the
"attached bit" in its Level 1 LSP; all the Level 1 ISs in an area will get a
copy of this LSP and know where to forward packets to destinations outside
the area. If the routers are running Integrated IS-IS, a default IP route
will automatically be installed in the Level 1 routers pointing toward the
nearest Level 1/Level 2 router that originally set the attached bit in its
Level 1 LSP. A Level 1/Level 2 router that is not attached to another area
can also detect that a Level 2-only neighbor is attached to another area and
set the "attached bit" on behalf of this Level 2-only neighbor."
I think the point of the question was if that using the command default
information originate was necessary to install a default route. And if the
default route being installed was normal behavior. I am just trying to help
the individual. Unlike other companies, I don't focus on attacking other
individuals. I focus on solutions. I don't have to take the exam. It is
Kaloyan who has to take the exam. So it is important that he understands why
the default route appears in the routing table.
Here is the link for more information:

Team, if anyone else has any trouble understanding this, please let me know.
:) Again im not here to debate, I don't like to see a lot of threads, im
here to help.

Actually, the default route is not "sent" at all. The ATT bit indicates
connection to an outside area. As soon as L1 routers see routes with the
ATT bit set, they will create a default route pointing to the router that
sent the ATT-bit routes.

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:

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:)
Reg,
Kaloyan-:)
