Disabling an interface from sending/receiving IS-IS packets

After disabled from sending and receiving hello packets, an interface cannot form any neighbor

relationship, but can advertise directly connected networks in LSPs through other interfaces. This can save

bandwidth and CPU resources, and ensures other routers know networks directly connected to the

interface.
To disable an interface from sending and receiving IS-IS packets:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter interface view.

interface interface-type
interface-number

N/A

3.

Disable the interface from

sending and receiving IS-IS
packets.

isis silent

Not disabled by default

Disabling hello source address check for a PPP interface

On a P2P link, IS-IS verifies the source IP address of the incoming hello packets is in the same network
segment as the IP address of the receiving interface. If not, it discards the hello packets, and no neighbor

relationship can be established with the peer router.
For a PPP interface, the peer’s IP address may reside on a different network segment. In this case, you can

disable the hello source address check for the PPP interface to establish the neighbor relationship with the
peer.
To enable neighbor relationships over different network segments:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter interface view.

interface interface-type
interface-number

N/A

3.

Disable hello source

address check for the PPP
interface.

isis peer-ip-ignore

The command only applies to the PPP
interface.
By default, hello source address check

is enabled.

Enabling an interface to send small hello packets

IS-IS messages cannot be fragmented at the IP layer because they are directly encapsulated into frames.

Any two IS-IS neighboring routers must negotiate a common MTU. To avoid sending big hellos for saving

bandwidth, enable the interface to send small hello packets without CLVs.
