### Instruction:
What is the purpose of the adjacency stagger command in IS-IS?
### Response:
The adjacency stagger command is used to stagger the formation of IS-IS adjacencies after a router reload or IS-IS process restart. This can help prevent all adjacencies from coming up simultaneously, which can cause a temporary spike in CPU utilization. By staggering the adjacencies, the CPU load is spread out over a longer period, which can improve system stability during a restart.
