With which type of IS-IS router can an IS-IS Level 1-only router form an adjacency?
A.
any IS-IS Level 1 router of any area
B.
any IS-IS Level 2 router of any area
C.
any properly configured IS-IS router
D.
any IS-IS Level 1 router of the same area
Explanation:
In IS-IS, a single AS can be divided into smaller groups referred to as areas. Routing between areas is organized hierarchically, allowing a domain to be divided administratively into smaller areas. IS-IS accomplishes this organization by configuring Level 1 and Level 2 ISs. Level 1 systems route within an area, and Level 2 ISs route between areas and toward other ASs. A Level 1 and Level 2 system routes within an area on one interface and between areas on another.A Level 1 and Level 2 system sets the attached bit in the Level 1 PDUs that it generates into a Level 1 area to indicate that it is a Level 2-attached backbone router and that it can be used to reach prefixes outside the Level 1 area. Level 1 routers create a default route for interarea prefixes, which points to the closest (in terms of metrics) Level 1 and Level 2-attached router.
