2 Flashcards
What can cause broadcast radiation in a VM environment?
The Layer 2 domain can be large in virtual machine environments
Virtual machines communicate primarily through broadcast mode
What GRE features can you configure to prevent fragmentation?
TCP MSS
PMTUD
Which LISP device publishes EID-to-RLOC mappings?
ETR
What does ETR do?
Publishes EID-to-RLOC mappings for the site
Responds to Map-Request messages
Decapsulates and delivers LISP-encapsulated user data to end systems at the site
What are some benefits of using VMs to virtualize the server in a data center environment?
Reduce rack space, power, and cooling reqs
Faster deployment
What do route targets do in VRF-Lite?
Control the import and export of routes into a customer routing table
What is a PITR?
A LISP infrastructure device that provides connectivity between non-LISP sites and LISP sites
In what way is a Type 1 hypervisor more efficient than a Type 2 hypervisor?
Type 1 runs directly on the physical hardware of the host machine without relying on the underlying OS
What is VXLAN?
An encapsulation protocol that lets you overlay Layer 2 networks on top of Layer 3 networks
What is TCP MSS?
The maximum amount of data that a host is willing to accept in a single TCIP/IP datagram
Can be tuned to minimize fragmentation
How do you minimize fragmentation in IP and TCP?
TCP - MSS
IP - MTU
How do IP/MAC allocations work for VMs on Type 1 hypervisors?
Each VM needs a unique IP and MAC address to be able to reach other nodes
What are the two namespaces used in LISP?
EIDs - end hosts
RLOCs - devices that make up the global routing system
What are examples of Type 1 hypervisors?
Microsoft Hyper-V
VMware ESXi
Citrix XenServer
In LISP, what does the resolver do?
Accepts map requests
In LISP, what does the server do?
Learns EID mapping entries from an ETR
In LISP, what does the proxy ETR dp?
LISP to non-LISP
