Managing an IS-IS Area Address

IS-IS was not originally designed for IP routing. Some aspects of CLNP routing, such as system IDs and area addresses, exist in the IP extension of IS-IS. The IS-IS area address is required to identify the area in which the router participates.

Before you can configure the area address, you must create the IS-IS routing process, which is also called an area, using the following command:
create isis area area_name
To add an IS-IS area address to the router, use the following command:
configure isis area area_name add area-address area_address
To delete an IS-IS area address from a router, use the following command:
configure isis area area_name delete area-address area_address

Note
The ExtremeXOS software implementation of IS-IS supports no more than three area addresses.
