LISP Generalized SMR

The LISP Generalized SMR feature enables LISP xTR (ITR and ETR) to update map cache when there is a change in database mapping.


Note

There is no configuration commands for this feature. This feature is turned on automatically.

Information About LISP Generalized SMR

Solicit-Map-Request (SMR)

Soliciting a Map-Request enables ETRs to control requests for Map-Reply messages when there is change in database mapping. SMRs enable remote ITRs to update the database mappings that are cached. An SMR message is simply a bit set in a Map-Request message. An ITR or PITR will send a Map-Request when they receive an SMR message.


Note

There is no configuration commands for this feature. This feature is turned on automatically.

Generalized SMR (GSMR)

SMR was mainly used to support LISP mobility. This mechanism has been generalized (Generalized Solicit Map Request - GSMR) to support the following use cases:

  • De-configured local EID

  • Local EID no-route (when an ETR decapsulates a data packet and finds no route for a configured local EID)

  • Mobility host move out and detection

  • Overlapping prefix


Note

There are no configuration commands for this feature. This feature is turned on automatically.

Verifying LISP Generalized SMR

Perform this task to verify the LISP Generalized SMR feature which is enabled automatically in the LISP network. In this example, a LISP site uses a single edge router that functions as both ITR and ETR (known as an xTR). Routing Locators (RLOCs) are in IPv4. EID prefixes are in both IPv4 and IPv6. The LISP site registers to two map server/map resolver (MSMR) devices in the network core. The topology used in verifying LISP Generalized SMR is as shown in the figure below.

Figure 1. LISP Generalized SMR Topology


The components as shown in the topology are described below:

  • xTR1 and xTR2 are xTRs for 2 LISP sites.
  • Core1 and Core 2 are routing locators (RLOCs) core routers with no LISP configuration.
  • New MSMR is a map-server and map-resolver with reliable map-registration support, whereas Old MSMR does not support reliable map-registration.
  • PxTR1 works as a Proxy Ingress Tunnel Router (PITR) and Proxy Egress Tunnel Router (PETR) between the network with 10.0.0.0/8 prefix and the LISP sites.
  • Only static routing protocols are used in this setup to reduce control traffic.
