Hi Mohamed,

It seems as if there were corrupted IS-IS packets being originated in your network, or they got damaged during delivery.

Can you isolate the router with the SystemID of 0001.0000.0009? Is it the PE9? Also, which devices have the MAC addresses ca09.1ae0.001c and ca0a.1ae0.001c? I find it curious that you happen to have two devices with their MAC addresses differing in a single octet of their OUI but otherwise identical.

Can you verify using show interfaces and show ip traffic if there are any errors recorded for received frames and IP packets? I am trying to find out if there is a general problem in your network that causes frames/packets being corrupted in transit.

Have you just recently observed this phenomenon, or was it present all the time you are running IS-IS? If this is a sudden incident, were there any changes performed to the network, either to the physical installation or to the configuration, that preceded the occurence of this problem?

Best regards,

Peter

thank you peter for your reply , i know it's too late but i tried the same lab using another version of GNS3 and i didn't face this problem , may be this problem related to the simulator it self no networking issue .

Thank you again and have a nice day
