set-overload-bit

Use this command to configure the router to signal other routers not to use it as an intermediate hop in their SPF calculations.

Syntax

set-overload-bit [level-1 | level-1-2 | level-2]
no set-overload-bit

Parameters

level-1 (Optional) Specifies that the set overload bit configuration is restricted to level 1.
level-1-2 (Optional) Specifies that the set overload bit configuration is for both level 1 and level 2. (Default).
level-2 (Optional) Specifies that the set overload bit configuration is restricted to level 2.

Defaults

If no level option is specified, this configuration is applied to both level 1 and level 2 routers.

Mode

IS-IS router configuration.

Usage

The overload bit is not set by default. Other routers can use this router as an intermediate hop in their SPF calculations.

The “no” form of this command resets set overload bit setting to the default value of not set.

Example
