Restrictions for LISP ESM Multihop Mobility

  • Supports Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) multihop mobility only in Extended Subnet Mode (ESM) with Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV).

  • Requires OTV First Hop Redundancy Protocol (FHRP) isolation to avoid hair-pinning of traffic across the OTV Data Center Interconnect (DCI) framework.

  • Does not support Network Address Translated (NAT’d) endpoint identifiers (EIDs).

Information About LISP ESM Multihop Mobility

LISP ESM Multihop Mobility Overview

A first-hop router (FHR) detects the presence of a dynamic host endpoint identifier (EID) and notifies the site gateway xTR. A device configured as both an ingress tunnel router (ITR) and an egress tunnel router (ETR) is known as an xTR. The site gateway xTR registers the dynamic EID with a map server. The Site Gateway xTR performs Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) encapsulation/decapsulation of the traffic from or to the dynamic EID to or from remote sites.

Figure 1. LISP ESM Multihop Mobility Sample Topology


Multiple Layer 3 hops can exist between the FHR and the site gateway xTR when deploying the LISP ESM Multihop Mobility feature. You can insert non-LISP devices like firewalls and load-balancers into the data center.


Note
LISP supports silent host moves from the 15.4(1)T release.

Note
LISP supports redistributing host routes for servers discovered by LISP into Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) via Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol/ Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) protocol/ Routing Information Protocol (RIP)/ Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).

Perform the tasks shown below to configure LISP ESM multihop mobility on a Locator ID/Separation Protocol (LISP) site with three IPv4 routing locators (RLOCs). In these tasks, a LISP site uses a single edge router configured as both an ITR and an ETR (known as an xTR) with two connections to the upstream provider. Both the RLOCs and the endpoint identifier (EID) prefix are IPv4. The LISP site registers to a map resolver map server (MRMS) device in the network core. The topology used in this LISP configuration is shown in the figure below.

Figure 2. Topology for LISP ESM Multihop Mobility


The components illustrated in the topology shown in the above figure are described below:

LISP Site
  • The customer premises equipment (CPE) functions as a LISP ITR and ETR (xTR).
  • The LISP xTR is authoritative for the IPv4 EID prefix of 10.1.0.0/16.
  • The LISP xTR has two RLOC connections to the core. The RLOC connection to xTR-1 is 172.18.3.3; the RLOC connection to xTR-2 is 172.19.4.4.
Mapping System
  • An MRMS system is assumed to be available for the LISP xTRs to configure. The MRMS has IPv4 RLOCs 10.1.1.0 and 10.1.1.9.
  • Mapping services are assumed to be provided as part of this LISP solution via a private mapping system or as a public LISP mapping system.
