[All JN0-363 Questions]

Which two statements are correct about IS-IS? (Choose two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, B

A Level 1 router can become adjacent with the Level 1 and Level 1-2 (L1/L2) router. A Level 2 router can become adjacent with Level 2 or Level 1-2 (L1/L2) router. There is no adjacency between L1 only and L2 only router. HOWEVER: If two routers are in different areas, they can only form a Level 2 adjacency. As such, two routers in different areas can NOT form a Level 1 adjacency. If you want two routers to form a Level 1 adjacency, they have to be in the same area.

IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System) operates at two levels: Level 1 and Level 2. Level 1 routers are only aware of their own area's topology, while Level 2 routers have knowledge of the topology across areas. A Level 1 router cannot form an adjacency with a Level 2 router unless the Level 2 router is also operating as a Level 1 router (Level 1-2 router). Level 2 routers can form adjacencies regardless of their area IDs because Level 2 operates at the domain level and is used to interconnect different IS-IS areas.

B is true, area IDs can be different for level 2.

Wait, are you saying level 1 can talk to level 2? That seems off.

C makes sense, the area IDs need to be the same for level 2 adjacencies.

I thought IS-IS was a new type of ice cream flavor, this is way too technical for me.

D is definitely wrong, a level 1 router can't form an adjacency with a level 2 router.

I thought area IDs had to match for level 2 adjacencies, but now I'm second-guessing myself after seeing these options.

I feel like a level 1 only router can connect with a level 2 only router, but I can't recall the exact details.

Ah yes, I've seen questions like this before. I'm pretty confident I can identify the two correct statements here.

This question is testing our understanding of the IS-IS routing protocol. I'll approach it systematically and eliminate the incorrect statements.

I'm a bit confused on the adjacency rules between level 1 and level 2 routers. I'll need to review my notes to make sure I have that right.

I think I practiced a question where it mentioned that level 2 routers can have different area IDs, so maybe that's correct?

I remember something about level 1 and level 2 routers not being able to form adjacencies, but I'm not sure if it's about them being the same or different.

Okay, I remember learning about this in class. I think the key is understanding the area ID requirements for level 2 adjacencies.

Hmm, this one seems tricky. I'll need to think through the differences between level 1 and level 2 routers carefully.
