A. ETR
B. MR
C. ITR
D. MS

A

A. ETR

Egress Tunnel Router (ETR) connects a site to the LISP-capable part of a core network (such as the Internet), publishes EID-to-RLOC mappings for the site, responds to Map-Request messages, and
decapsulates and delivers LISP-encapsulated user data to end systems at the site.

Q

Which LISP component is required for a LISP site to communicate with a non-LISP site?

A. Proxy ITR
B. ITR
C. ETR
D. Proxy ETR

A

D. Proxy ETR

Proxy ETR (PETR): A PETR is a LISP Infrastructure device that allows EIDs at LISP sites to successfully communicate with devices located at non-LISP sites

“ To establish communication between LISP and non LISP sites an extra components must be use, a proxy ingress tunnel router (PITR), which allows non-LISP sits to send packet toward LISP sites. The PITR attracts traffic from non-LISP sites by advertising aggregate prefixes for the LISP EID into the non-LISP network. When PITR receives packets from non-LISP sites it encapsulate and forward these packets to LISP sites. The second element to establish communication between the LISP and non-LISP sites is called a proxy egress tunnel router (PETR). The PETR allows the communication from the LISP sites to the non-LISP sites. The PETR receives LISP encapsulated traffic from ITR. The PITR and PETR can be combine and deployed on the same node called (PxTR) to provide symmetric traffic when stateful inspection devices are deployed between LISP and non-LISP sites.”

Q

Which device is responsible for finding EID-to-RLOC mapping when traffic is sent to a LISP-capable site?

A. map resolver
B. egress tunnel router
C. map server
D. ingress tunnel router

A

D. ingress tunnel router

An ITR is responsible for finding EID-to-RLOC mappings for all traffic destined for LISP-capable sites.
When the ITR receives a packet destined for an EID, it first looks for the EID in its mapping cache. If the ITR
finds a match, it encapsulates the packet inside a LISP header with one of its RLOCs as the IP source address
and one of the RLOCs from the mapping cache entry as the IP destination. The ITR then routes the packet
normally.

Q

What is the function of the LISP map resolver?

A. to connect a site to the LISP-capable part of a core network publish the EID-to-RLOC mappings for the site, and respond to map-request messages
B. to advertise routable non-LISP traffic from one address family to LISP sites in a different address family
C. to send traffic to non-LISP sites when connected to a service provider that does not accept nonroutable EIDs as packet sources
D. to decapsulate map-request messages from ITRs and forward the messages to the MS

A

D. to decapsulate map-request messages from ITRs and forward the messages to the MS

Like an MS, a LISP MR connects to the ALT. The function of the LISP MR is to accept encapsulated Map-Request messages from ingress tunnel routers (ITRs), decapsulate those messages, and then forward the messages to the MS responsible for the egress tunnel routers (ETRs) that are authoritative for the requested EIDs.

When an MR is implemented concurrently with an MS in a private mapping system deployment, the concurrent MS forwards the encapsulated Map-Request messages to the authoritative ETRs. When a LISP ALT is present in the deployment, the MR forwards the Map-Request messages directly over the ALT to the MS responsible for the ETRs that are authoritative for the requested EIDs. An MR also sends Negative Map-Replies to ITRs in response to queries for non-LISP addresses.

Q

Which Cisco Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) device receives packets from remote site facing devices and either decapsulates the LISP packets or routes them natively?

A. ITR
B. ETR
C. MS
D. MR

A

LISP Site Edge Devices
* ITR-Ingress Tunnel Router is deployed as a CE device. It receives packets from site-facing interfaces, and either encapsulates packets to remote LISP sites or natively forwards packets to non-LISP sites.
* ETR-Egress Tunnel Router is deployed as a CE device. It receives packets from core-facing interfaces and either decapsulates LISP packets or natively delivers non-LISP packets to local EIDs at the site.

Both ETR and ITR receive packets and natively forward them, so the question’s key part is “ receives packets from remote site facing devices”. If the packets are coming from a remote site, it means they are coming from the network core. Thus, by definition, the answer is ETR.

Q

Select the prerequisites for configuring LISP from the below options. (Choose two.)

A. Determine the type of LISP deployment you intend to deploy
B. One can directly deploy LISP without determining the type.
C. LISP configuration requires the datak9 license.
D. LISP configuration requires the advanced ip services license.

A

A. Determine the type of LISP deployment you intend to deploy
C. LISP configuration requires the datak9 license.

From the article below:
Before you can configure Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP), you will need to determine the type of LISP deployment you intend to deploy. The LISP deployment defines the necessary functionality of LISP devices, which, in turn, determines the hardware, software, and additional support from LISP mapping services and proxy services that are required to complete the deployment.

LISP configuration requires the datak9 license.

Q

Which two namespaces does the LISP network architecture and protocol use? (Choose two.)

A. TLOC
B. RLOC
C. DNS
D. VTEP
E. EID

A

B. RLOC
E. EID

Locator ID Separation Protocol (LISP) is a network architecture and protocol that implements the use of two namespaces instead of a single IP address:

  • Endpoint identifiers (EIDs)—assigned to end hosts.
  • Routing locators (RLOCs)—assigned to devices (primarily routers) that make up the global routing system.

Q

What it the purpose of the LISP routing and addressing architecture?

A. It creates two entries for each network node, one for its identity and another for its location on the network.
B. It allows LISP to be applied as a network virtualization overlay though encapsulation.
C. It allows multiple instances of a routing table to co-exist within the same router.
D. It creates head-end replication used to deliver broadcast and multicast frames to the entire network.

A

A. It creates two entries for each network node, one for its identity and another for its location on the network.

Locator ID Separation Protocol (LISP) solves this issue by separating the location and identity of a device through the Routing locator (RLOC) and Endpoint identifier (EID):
+ Endpoint identifiers (EIDs) – assigned to end hosts.
+ Routing locators (RLOCs) – assigned to devices (primarily routers) that make up the global routing system.

Q

What is the purpose of the weight attribute in an EID-to-RLOC mapping?

A. It determines the administrative distance of LISP generated routes in the RIB.
B. It indicates the load-balancing ratio between ETRs of the same priority.
C. It indicates the preference for using LISP over native IP connectivity.
D. It identifies the preferred RLOC address family.

A

B. It indicates the load-balancing ratio between ETRs of the same priority.

In the LISP context, for each RLOC mapped to an EID, the
mapping system provides a priority and a weight [4]. When
several RLOCs have the same priority, the LISP traffic is split
among the different RLOCs in proportion to their weight. This
makes possible to control the traffic that enters a site by tuning
the RLOCs sent to different sources and also by changing their
priorities and weights.

18
Q

Which action is a LISP ITR responsible for?

A. responding to map-request messages
B. forwarding user data traffic
C. finding EID-to-RLOC mappings
D. accepting registration requests from ETRs

A

C. finding EID-to-RLOC mappings

The Ingress Tunnel Router (ITR) is responsible for sending map requests and processing received map replies to resolve EID-to-RLOC mappings. Additionally, on the data plane side, the ITR encapsulates packets for transmission to remote LISP sites or natively forwards packets to non-LISP sites.

19
Q

Which device, in a LISP router architecture, receives LISP map requests and determines which ETR should handle the map request?

A. proxy ETR
B. routing locator
C. map resolver
D. map server

A

C. map resolver

Given answer is correct!

When MS and MR function runs on separate devices:
1. ITR –‘map-request’–> MAP-Resolver (MR)
2. MR — forwards ‘map-request’ —–> MAP-Server (MS)
3. MS — check DB for RLOC – finds (ETR)
4. MS – Sends ‘map-request’ to ——> Egress Tunnel Router (ETR)
5. ETR – sends ‘MAP-Reply’ directly to —–>ITR

When MS and MR function runs on same devices (which is this question):
1. ITR –‘map-request’–> MAP-Resolver (MR/MS)
2. MS — check DB for RLOC – find (ETR)
3. MS – Sends ‘map-request’ to ——> Egress Tunnel Router (ETR)
4. ETR – sends ‘MAP-Reply’ directly to —–>ITR
