Hi dear all:
Thanks for all instant reply! Now I want to end this quesition with the answer below .If anyone have any other idea,please let us know.
1 Which network layer use to encapsulation isis-pdu?
Is it clnp or ip?
ANSWER:
ISIS PDU's are not encapsulated in IP or CLNP. They use just layer-2 .
2 How many IS-IS adjacency between point-to-point routers?
answer:
default ,if form 2 adj.one for L1,the other for L2

I had to verify the answer for the first question. I have posted it below:
QUESTION:
1 Which network layer use to encapsulation isis-pdu?
Is it clnp or ip?
ANSWER:
ISIS PDU's are not encapsulated in IP. Like IP, CLNP (often referred to as OSI) runs at the network-layer. It is often stated that IS-IS runs directly over the data-link (L2) protocol. However, IS-IS uses CLNP packet types.

I agree, this becomes a matter of semantics. I stated in my email that a single p2p link connecting to a neighbor establishes one adjacency. A level-1/level-2 IS (router) implies a minimum of two p2p links, one connecting to a level-1 IS and another connecting to a level-2 IS. Thus, two neighbors and two adjacencies. I was taking a simpler approach to my email :-) Thank you for the clarification...
Best regards.
Chris

#2.
Depends - I believe by default L1/L2 is enabled on Juniper, therefore 2 adjacencies. Otherwise, if L1 only or if L2 only, then only a single adjacency.

hi all:
When I study isis, I meet the problem:
1 Which network layer use to encapsulation isis-pdu?
Is it clnp or ip?
CF: The OSI packets (or PDUs) are forwarded "as is" or transmitted directly over the underlying link layer without the need for encapsulation - per RFC 1195.
2 How many IS-IS adjacency between point-to-point routers?
CF: IIH (IS-IS Hello) PDUs are utilized to initialize and maintain adjacencies between neighbors. On a p2p link, one neighbor creates one adjacency. Do you have a more specific question that needs answering?
