Hello all,

I am havingĀ  some confusion in a statement  in RFC 3784 (IS-IS extension for Traffic Engineering). In section 4.1 (The up/down bit, page 8) of the RFC, there is one statement as "The up/down bit SHALL be set to 0 when a prefix is first injected into IS-IS". In this statement, the meaning of injection of a prefix into IS-IS is not clear to me.

How can I inject a prefix into IS-IS ? Does this means configuration of a prefix as reachable address in IS-IS router (by configuration of summary address in the IS-IS router) or something else.

Please help me out regarding this issue.

Thanks,
Sumanta
