Use the 
show running-config isis 
command in EXEC Privilege mode to view IS-IS configuration globally 
(including both IPv4 and IPv6 settings), or the 
show config
 command in ROUTER ISIS mode to view the 
current IPv4 IS-IS configuration, or the 
show config
 command in ROUTER ISIS-ADDRESS FAMILY 
IPV6 mode to view the current IPv6 IS-IS configuration
Configure authentication passwords
You can assign an authentication password for routers in Level 1 and for routers in Level 2. Since Level 1 
and Level 2 routers do not communicate with each other, you can assign different passwords for Level 1 
routers and for Level 2 routers. If you want the routers in the level to communicate with each other, though, 
they must be configured with the same password. 
Use either or both of the commands in ROUTER ISIS mode to configure a simple text password.
Use the 
show config
 command in ROUTER ISIS mode or the 
show running-config isis
 command in 
EXEC Privilege mode to view the passwords.
Remove a password by using either the 
no area-password
 or 
no domain-password
 command in 
ROUTER ISIS mode.
Set the overload bit
Another use for the overload bit is to prevent other routers from using this router as an intermediate hop in 
their shortest path first (SPF) calculations. For example, if the IS-IS routing database is out of memory and 
cannot accept new LSPs, FTOS sets the overload bit and IS-IS traffic continues to transit the system.
Use this command the following command in ROUTER ISIS mode to set the overload bit manually.  
Enter 
no set-overload-bit
 to remove the overload bit.

ROUTER ISIS
Set the overload bit in LSPs. This prevents other routers from 
using it as an intermediate hop in their shortest path first (SPF) 
calculations.
