All ISs and ESs in a routing domain must have system IDs of the same length. Furthermore, Cisco implements a fixed length of 6 bytes for the system ID.

Each system ID within an area must be unique. It is used to identify a IS-IS node.

There are several techniques for creating unique system IDs

  • Start numbering 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.
  • Use Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.
  • Convert and use the loopback IP address: 192.168.11.1 -->
192.168.011.001--> 1921.6801.1001.
