Overview

RFC 8196, “IS-IS Autoconfiguration”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2017 by B. Liu, L. Ginsberg, B. Decraene, I. Farrer, M. Abrahamsson. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document specifies IS-IS autoconfiguration mechanisms. The key components are IS-IS System ID self-generation, duplication detection, and duplication resolution. These mechanisms provide limited IS-IS functions and are therefore suitable for networks where plug-and-play configuration is expected.
