In IS-IS, to advertise only the network prefixes associated with passive interfaces, the command advertise passive-only under the address family configuration mode is used. This ensures that only the prefixes of passive interfaces are advertised to other IS-IS routers in the network. The passive interface command is used to prevent IS-IS from forming adjacencies over that interface, while still allowing the network prefix of the interface to be included in the IS-IS link-state database.

The issue with establishing an IS-IS adjacency between the two routers stems from a mismatch in the configuration of their interfaces. Router R2’s interface is set to point-to-point, while the peer router interface is set to multipoint. For IS-IS adjacencies to form, both interfaces must be configured with the same network type. The discrepancy in the network types is preventing the adjacency from being established. To resolve this, the network operator must ensure that both interfaces are either configured as point-to-point or as multipoint. References := Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR)
