Let's Lab. IS-IS routing protocol. Part 2
- Tutorial
Hello, Habr!
Concepts and rules! They surround us everywhere. What to eat, how to cross the road, why you should not lick frogs and how to transfer packets if you are a router. A lot of all kinds of things have to be kept in mind by a network engineer. Sometimes you don’t understand whether you need to know all the LSA types in OSPF, on which port TCP sessions are built in BGP, and is it important to learn something new every day, while not forgetting the old one.
One way or another, it’s too early to move on to practice until there is an understanding of theory. The release will have a lot of concepts that I will try to explain to you. I poured all the water and history into the first issue. And this release will consist of two sections, in the first of which I will talk in detail about topologies with IS-IS. The second section will be devoted to the data exchanged by routers in IS-IS.
And here what will be discussed:
Is it hard to be a router with OSPF or IS-IS on board?
How do OSPF and IS-IS build a topology?
L1, L2, L1 / L2 routers and where to attach them.
What is Partial route calculation and how does ISPF work?
Why do we need a bunch of Area, and are they so important?
Does IS-IS need a virtual link?
Change Area number without downtime?
Why is IS-IS called the L2 protocol?
Grandma, why do you need more MTU?
What are PDUs and what are they in IS-IS?
Why do I love Overload bit so much?
And how to shove ip prefixes and a cheeseburger into the OSI protocol?
The next issue has more fun. Give the command line!
There is no text article under the cut. Only links to literature and sources.

By criticizing you, you can influence the next release. For the better.
PS Issues are similar to CBT Nuggets. I really like their presentation format. My respect to Jeremy Cioara .
