Which two statements describe the usage of the IS-IS overload bit technique? (Choose two.)
A.
If overload-bit is set on a Level 2 intermediate system, the other Level 2 intermediate systems in the topology will stop using the overloaded IS to forward Level 2 traffic. However, the intermediate system can still forward Level 1 traffic.
B.
It can be set in intermediate systems (IS-IS routers) to prioritize control plane CSNP packets.
C.
It can be used to automatically synchronize the link-state database between Level 1 intermediate systems.
D.
It can be set in intermediate systems (IS-IS routers) to avoid traffic black holes until routing protocols are fully converged after a reload operation.
E.
It can be set in intermediate systems (IS-IS routers) to attract transit traffic from other intermediate systems.
The Answer Is:
A, D
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
A: The overload bit (OL bit) signals other routers to avoid using the overloaded router as a transit path for Level 2 traffic. However, the overloaded router can still forward Level 1 local area traffic if applicable.
D: The overload bit is commonly used during router bootup to prevent temporary black holes while the router completes its routing protocol convergence and LSDB synchronization.
Why other options are incorrect:
B: CSNP prioritization is not related to overload bit functionality.
C: LSDB synchronization occurs through normal IS-IS mechanisms; overload bit is not involved.
E: The overload bit prevents transit usage, not attracts traffic.
