One of our Cisco Nexus 7K’s ran into a problem where LDP would not establish neighbors and IS-IS was not advertising routes:

nx7k-MPLS# show mpls ldp neighbor
nx7k-MPLS#

nx7k-MPLS# show isis database level-2 ip prefix 192.168.247.154/32   ! This is the lo0 interface IP address
IS-IS Process: isis-config LSP database VRF: default
IS-IS Level-2 Link State Database
  LSPID                 Seq Number   Checksum  Lifetime   A/P/O/T

nx7k-MPLS#

The router hit a bug, but restarting IS-IS resolved the issue:

nx7k-MPLS# restart isis isis-config

The restart resolved the issue:

nx7k-MPLS# show mpls ldp neighbor
