This threw me too, actually. It's just wording. "backbone connected
interfaces" means "interior interfaces on which you run your IGP".
For example:
int POS1/0/0
description connection to another backbone location
ip address foo bar
isis circuit-type level-2-only
isis metric 1 level-2
which I think is what Jared means. The terminology to
explain the difference between that and actually putting
a prefix into your IGP is a bit dense, so a shortcut probably
was a reasonable idea. --:)
