1910512028, 2328 ISIS Route Leaking Search Q © IS-IS Route Leaking ISAS routers in a level 1 area only know the prefixes in their own area. If they want to reach something in another area, they have to use a default route to a level 1-2 router. If there are multiple level 1-2 routers, then IS-IS picks the closest level 1-2 router to exit the area. This sometimes causes sub-optimal routing, We can deal with this by leaking prefixes from level 2 into level 1 Alevel 1-2 router has access to the local area and also knows all prefixes because of its level 2 database, We can redistribute one or more prefixes from level 2 into the local area so that level 1 routers can select the most optimal path in the network. This is best explained with an example, so in this lesson, I'll show you what route leaking is and © solves sub-optimal routing, This is the topology we will use: hitpstnetworklessons.comfie-isliee-route-leaking 1201910812029, 2328 ISIS Route Leaking a 192.168.12.0/24 2 0/1 i0/1 wt ae 138 ee Ei 3 8 B a Area 1234 ; B \rea 8 a8 28 38 ge 3 65 m2 Lt2 Li-L2 a ee 388 488 a ras B S | 2 5 & 3 =o = se sg SES 788 192.168.56.0/24 192.168.67.0/24 U-12 Gi0/2——Gi0 1. 10/2 ——i0/2 © crriem 5 6 6 7) FC ‘2 L112 738 a 8 Area 5678 | y sg age rt 3| 3 u 3 3 We have a bunch of IS-IS routers.

Conclusion In this lesson, you have learned how to use route leaking to ensure level 1 routers pick the most optimal path in the network: * level 1 routers generate a default route to the closest level 1-2 router to reach prefixes outside of their own area, * level 1-2 routers can redistribute prefixes from level 2 to level 1 so that level 1 routes can choose the most optimal path * prefixes that were redistributed from level 2 to level 1 have their distribution up/down bit set to up so that they are not redistributed back into level 2 by another level 1-2 router, hitpstnetworklessons.comfie-isliee-route-leaking wri201910812029, 2328 ISIS Route Leaking a =* [Ss Filtering ® Tags: IP Routing, Redistribution Forum Replies [O) waneabeunanes HiRene, thanks a lot for your helpful explanation, | simulated your lab and found something that | need your explanation for it. when I leaked 8.8.8.8 at R4, R2 calculated the metric of 8.8.8.8 with 168 as below: Rash ip route isis 1 8,0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets iia 8.8.8.8 [135/168] via 192.168.26.4, 08:24:47, Etherneto/2 © ctri+m although Ra calculated itwith 30 : Ratsh ip route isis 8,0.0.0/32 1s subnetted, 1 subnets 112 8.8.8.8 [115/30] vie 192.168.47.7, 00:50:55, Ethernete/1 the metric calculated with 40 at R2 when | configured the .- Continue reading in our forum HiWalid, That's a good question. | just booted this topology again and I see a metric of 40 on R2: Raushow ip route isis 18120 hps:inetworklessons.comis-iti--route-leaking1910812029, 2328 ISIS Route Leaking a A*L. 0.0.0.0/0 [115/10] via 192.168.24.4, @0: 8.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets ja 8.8.8.8 [115/40] vie 192.168.24.4, 00:14:23, Gigabitéthernet9/2 Lt 192.168.13.0/24 [225/28] via 192.168.12.1, 00:15:16, Gigabitethernete/1 L1 192,168.35.0/24 [115/30] via 192.168.12.1, 00:15:18, Gigabitéthernete/1 11 192.168.47.0 223, Gigabitethernete/2 « Continue reading in our forum YG, vrrryzorcu HiRene, Ristraceroute 8.8.8.8 this command result RI uses R3 Why do you write: Ri uses R2 YB, o>revs0rau q HiRene why we will configure on Ré, not on R2,, is there a reason or first level-1-2 router 2 ReneMolenaar HiBahni, ‘Thanks, this sa typo yes, Just fixed it Rene $2 15 more replies!
