Redistribute IS-IS Level-1 into Level-2
In IS-IS, all areas are stub areas, which means that no routing information is leaked from the backbone (Level 2) into areas (Level 1). Level 1-only routers use default routing to the closest Level 1-Level 2 router in their area. This command enables you to redistribute Level 2 IP routes into Level 1 areas. This redistribution enables Level 1-only routers to pick the best path for an IP prefix to get out of the area. This is an IP-only feature, CLNS routing is still stub routing.
For more control and scalability, a distribute list or a route map can control which Level 2 IP routes can be redistributed into Level 1. This command allows large IS-IS-IP networks to use areas for better scalability.
Examples
In the following example, access list 100 controls the redistribution of IS-IS from Level 1 into Level 2:
In the following example, the route map named "match-tag" controls the redistribution of IS-IS from Level 1 into Level 2 so that only routes tagged with 110 are redistributed:
