The first five IS-IS hellos are still padded to the full MTU size and 
subsequent hellos are not once the adjacency is formed... this is to detect MTU 
mismatches. If you cannot fix the MTU mismatch for some reason, you can also 
work around it by setting the clns mtu size to match on both sides which should 
also work. I would recommend setting the physical MTU of the interface to what 
is supported on the link, though. I'm not familiar with IOS-XE, but I know 
IOS-XR and IOS need to have their MTU's adjusted accordingly, which means they 
won't be the same numeric value. Someone more familiar with IOS-XE may know if 
this is also an issue or not.

Subject: [c-nsp] Cisco IIH padding

Hello everybody,

Although I have “no hello padding” configured, the adjacency won't come up 
until I limit the CLNS MTU on some link in my network (there is an MTU issue on 
that link, it's not 1500).

As far as I remember, Cisco IOS implementation of IS-IS will *still send out 
first* IIHs padded, never mind I had “no hello padding” *configured*.
On the other hand, it seems like that isn't documented. Can anybody kindly 
point out for me (and probably, for the rest of the list) the correct 
documentation for that and if this is still relevant for modern IOS/IOS-XE 
versions?


 Thank you.
