VXLAN

85
Q

VXLAN is a tunneling protocol that allows for the tunneling of -____ traffic over an IP network

A

Ethernet traffic

86
Q

A

Ingress tunnel router (ITR)

91
Q

What receives packets from interfaces facing the network core and either decapsulates LISP packets or natively delivers non-LISP packets to local EIDs at the site?

A

Egress tunnel router (ETR)

92
Q

What is a router that performs the functions of both an ITR and an ETR?

A

Tunnel router (xTR)

93
Q

What is a LISP infrastructure device that provides connectivity between non-LISP sites and LISP sites?

A

Proxy ITR (PITR)

94
Q

What is a LISP infrastructure device that allows IPv6 LISP sites without native IPv6 RLOC connectivity to reach LISP sites that only have IPv6 RLOC connectivity?

A

Proxy ETR (PETR)

95
Q

It is likely that a LISP interworking device will implement both PITR and PETR functions. When this is the case, the device is referred to as what?

A

Proxy xTR (PxTR)

96
Q

What is a router that performs the functions of any or all of the following: ITR, ETR, PITR, and/or PETR.

A

LISP Router

97
Q

What is an IPv4 or IPv6 address assigned to a device (typically a router) in the global routing system?

It is an IPv4 or IPv6 address of an ETR that decapsulates LISP packets.

A

Routing locator (RLOC)

98
Q

What configures the LISP site policy for LISP ETRs that register to it?

A

Map server (MS)

99
Q

What receives map requests encapsulated to it from ITRs, and when configured with a service interface to the LISP alternative topology (ALT), it forwards map requests to the ALT?

A

Map resolver (MR)

100
Q

When the map server and map resolver functions are implemented on the same device, it is referred to as what?

A

Map server/map resolver (MS/MR)

101
Q

What are the three components of an LISP architecture?

A

LISP routing architecture, LISP control plane, and LISP data plane

102
Q

What enables LISP to separate the IP addresses into EIDs and RLOCs? This enables endpoints to roam from site to site, and the only thing that changes is their RLOCs. The EIDs remain the same.

A

LISP routing architecture

103
Q

What component determines where to send LISP traffic? It works similarly to Domain Name System (DNS).

A

LISP control plane.

As DNS can resolve a name to an IP address, LISP can resolve an EID to an RLOC by sending map requests to the MR. LISP uses map requests and map replies, which are similar to DNS requests and replies. LISP uses a distributed mapping system to map EIDs to RLOCs. When an ITR needs to find an RLOC address, a map request is sent to the mapping system. This makes the system an efficient and scalable on-demand routing protocol because it is based on a pull model instead of the push model used with traditional routing protocols.

104
Q

Which device in a LISP deployment receives map requests that are encapsulated to it from ITRs?

A

Map resolver (MR)

105
Q

Endpoint identifiers (EIDs)are assigned to what?
