Which statements are true about IS-IS routing? (Select two.)
The correct answer is A. By default, L1-only routers will receive only a default route from the L1/L2 border routers. C. L1-only routers can receive a default route + more specific from the L1/L2 border routers, if route. A is correct: By default, when an L1/L2 border router detects that it has connectivity to the L2 backbone, it sets the 'attached' bit in its L1 LSPs. This signals to L1-only routers that a default route should be used to reach destinations outside the L1 area. L1-only routers…

Explanation
A is correct: By default, when an L1/L2 border router detects that it has connectivity to the L2 backbone, it sets the 'attached' bit in its L1 LSPs. This signals to L1-only routers that a default route should be used to reach destinations outside the L1 area. L1-only routers install a default route pointing toward the nearest L1/L2 border router - they do not receive the full L2 routing table. C is correct: IS-IS supports route leaking, a feature that allows L1/L2 border routers to selectively inject specific L2 prefixes (more specific routes) into the L1 LSDB. When configured, L1-only routers receive both a default route and these leaked, more-specific L2 prefixes, enabling more precise routing decisions. B is false because summaries are not leaked by default - only a default route is. D is false because route leaking CAN cause L1-only routers to receive more than just a default route. E is false because the default route IS injected into L1 areas by default via the attached bit mechanism.
