Referring to the exhibit, there are two Juniper routers, R1 and R2, connected via interface ge-1/1/0. The exhibit shows the configuration of both routers.

The IS-IS protocol is a link-state protocol used for routing in IP and OSI networks. In this case, both routers are running IS-IS, and there is a problem with the adjacency between them. The question asks for the reason why the adjacency fails.

Looking at the configuration, we see that R1 has the following IS-IS configuration:

kotlin
protocols { isis { level 1 disable; interface ge-1/1/0.0 { level 2 disable; } interface lo0.0; } }

This configuration disables IS-IS for Level 1 and Level 2 on interface ge-1/1/0.0. On the other hand, R2 has the following IS-IS configuration:

kotlin
protocols { isis { interface ge-1/1/0.0 { level 2 disable; } interface lo0.0; } }

This configuration disables IS-IS for Level 2 only on interface ge-1/1/0.0.

Therefore, the reason the IS-IS adjacency fails is that R1 has IS-IS disabled for both Level 1 and Level 2 on interface ge-1/1/0.0, while R2 only has IS-IS disabled for Level 2 on the same interface. Since IS-IS is disabled for Level 2 on R2, it expects to form an adjacency with another Level 2 router, which R1 is not.

To fix this problem, the IS-IS configuration on R1 should be updated to enable IS-IS for Level 2 on interface ge-1/1/0.0, or the IS-IS configuration on R2 should be updated to disable IS-IS for Level 2 on interface ge-1/1/0.0.
