Thanks Swaroop,
 
I did further reading in the BSCI book, it says nomally you give circuit type command on the L1/L2 router. For example if L1/L2 router is connected to 2 WAN interfaces(different areas) and one LAN(ethernet interface), you could assigh circuit-type level-2 only for WAN interfaces and circuit-type level-1 for LAN interfaces. ie this L1/L2 router use less bandwidth for communicating with other routers. This command is interface mode command whereas is-type is router mode command. Thanks again for your response.

Hi,

The IS-type command is to assign a ISIS process a specific level.

And the ISIS circuit type command is used to assign a specific link to form
adjacencies on a specific level. ie; level1 or level 2.

the first command is use ful when you want to assign a specific process to a
specific area in a multiarea or multi process scenario.

and the second command is useful to assign a ciruit to form a adjacency on a
specific level.

Thanks,
Swaroop.
