(Answer) (Category) Cisco CCIE Certification and CCNP Certification FAQs :
Why doesn't IS-IS work in a hub and spoke configuration?
Take a look at the example. R1/2/3 connect with Level 2, but 1 doesn't connect directly to 2.
There must be a full mesh for this to work, you could connect R1 to R2 with a tunnel and run an adjacency over this.
You could also originate a default route into the other areas, but this won't always work.

IS-IS does not run over logical hub-and-spoke. You'll need to create two point to point IP subnets either by readdressing the cloud or adding GRE tunnels.
...
By logical I mean one IP logical subnet. There is no problem with physical hub-and-spoke circuits. The easiest way to avoid the many problems that logical hub and spoke brings with it is to use point-to-point IP subnets. Simply create a point-to-point subinterface for each circuit that you have.

You can also use tunnels to solve the problem if the above is not allowed.
