Disabling an interface from sending/receiving IS-IS packets

After being 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. By doing so,

you can save bandwidth and CPU resources while ensuring 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.

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.
Therefore, any two IS-IS neighboring routers must negotiate a common MTU. To avoid sending big hellos

for saving bandwidth, you can enable the interface to send small hello packets without CLVs.

Enable the interface to send
small hello packets without

CLVs.

isis small-hello

By default, standard hello packets
are sent.

Configuring LSP parameters

Configuring LSP timers

1.

Specify the maximum age of LSPs
Each LSP has an age that decreases in the LSDB. Any LSP with an age of 0 is deleted from the LSDB.
You can adjust the age value based on the scale of a network.
To specify the maximum age of LSPs:
