You can modify, disable, or remove interface-level IS-IS parameters without shutting down entities. Changes take effect immediately. Modifying the level capability on the interface causes the IS-IS protocol on the interface to restart.
To remove an interface, issue the no interface ip-int-name command. To disable an interface, issue the shutdown command in the interface context.
The following example displays interface IS-IS modification command usage. For specific interface configuration and modification examples also see, Configuring a level 1 area and Modifying a router’s level capability.
Example
config>router# isis
config>router>isis# interface ALA-1-3
config>router>isis>if# passive
config>router>isis>if# exit
config>router>isis# interface to-103
config>router>isis>if# hello-authentication-type message-digest
config>router>isis>if# hello-authentication-key secretkey
config>router>isis>if# exit
The following example displays the modified interface parameters.
