>From “IS-IS Network Design Solutions” book:

 

Multipoint Connections: Frame Relay, ATM, and IS-IS Mesh Solutions

 

IS-IS does not directly support NBMA transport and certainly does make
provisions for pointto-

multipoint network model. This raises an intriguing question: How do you
model

nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA) networks, such as Frame Relay and ATM? The
answer is

that you can use a broadcast or point-to-point model.

 

In order to model an NBMA network as a multipoint broadcast LAN, you need
full connectivity

between all nodes and, therefore, full mesh of permanent virtual circuits
between all routers

connected to the medium. This is not always possible because most NBMA
environments are

designed as a hub and spoke architecture, or the NBMA cloud is simply not
fully meshed for

economic or feasibility reasons.

I have never had success running ISIS over hub and spoke.  Convert the Hub
to a p2p for each spoke and it will work fine.

Subject: [OSL | CCIE_SP] ISIS over NBMA

 

Hi there,

 

I have hub and spoke topology over main serial interfaces on hub and spokes
and ISIS L1 running through

Name loopback    int-ip

R1    1.1.1.1           10.0.0.1

R2    2.2.2.2           10.0.0.2

R3    3.3.3.3           10.0.0.3

R4    4.4.4.4           10.0.0.4

 

ISIS should behave as on broadcast medium in this setup –hub has the highest
loopback ip 4.4.4.4 so it became a DIS and is indeed sending the CSNP
periodically

After initial convergence all the routers have the same topology tables with
all the router’s loopback IPs

 

Problem is only the hub loopback ip makes it into the routing table on
spokes

 

Hub has all 3 spoke’s loopbacks in its routing table -no issues there and
I’m able to ping hub’s loopback from each spoke

 

-the only thing I could think of was that maybe on broadcast medium isis
won’t install prefixes from routers with which it doesn’t have an adjacency 

(cause isis forms an adjacency with all the routers on b-cast medium –but
for nbma it’s not –so only prefixes from hub where installed in RIB)

 

Please let me know your thoughts

Thank you very much
