LISP Multicast

The LISP Multicast feature introduces support for carrying multicast traffic over a Locator ID Separation Protocol (LISP) overlay. This support currently allows for unicast transport of multicast traffic with head-end replication at the root ingress tunnel router (ITR) site. This allows network operators to use LISP to carry multicast traffic over core networks that do not have native multicast capabilities.

Finding Feature Information

Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest caveats and feature information, see Bug Search Tool and the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the feature information table.

Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco software image support. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to www.cisco.com/​go/​cfn. An account on Cisco.com is not required.

Prerequisites for LISP Multicast

  • You must configure basic LISP services on the device. Basic LISP configurations are covered in "Configuring Basic LISP" section of this configuration guide.

  • You must configure IPv6 multicast and LISP services on the device. The configuration of IPv6 multicast over LISP is covered in "How to Configure LISP Multicast" and "Example: Configuring IPv6 Multicast over LISP" sections of this guide.

Restrictions for LISP Multicast

  • LISP multicast does not support IPv6 endpoint identifiers (EIDs) or IPv6 routing locators (RLOCs). Only IPv4 EIDs and IPv4 RLOCs are supported.

  • LISP multicast does not support Dense Mode or Bidirectional Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM). Only PIM-Sparse Mode (SM) and PIM Source Specific Multicast (SSM) modes are supported.

  • LISP multicast does not support group to Rendezvous Point (RP) mapping distribution mechanisms, Auto-RP and Bootstrap Router (BSR). Only static-RP configuration is supported.

  • LISP multicast does not support LISP Virtual Machine Mobility (VM-Mobility) deployment. That is, LISP multicast cannot be used as a data center interconnect (DCI) mechanism.

  • IPv6 LISP multicast does not support IPv6 routing locators. Additionally, it does not support multicast transport.


Note

IPv6 LISP multicast is supported only from Cisco IOS Release 16.2 onwards, though releases earlier than 16.2 supports only IPv4 LISP multicast

Information About LISP Multicast

The implementation of LISP multicast includes the following features:

  • Mapping of multicast source addresses as LISP endpoint identifiers (EIDs). (Destination group addresses are not topology dependent).

  • Building the multicast distribution tree across LISP overlays.

  • Unicast head-end replication of multicast data packets from sources within a root ingress tunnel router (ITR) site to receiver egress tunnel routers (ETRs).

  • Support for ASM (Any Source Multicast) and SSM (Source Specific Multicast).

  • Support for various combinations of LISP and non-LISP capable source and receiver sites.

  • Support for IPv6 endpoint identifiers (EIDs).


Note

If a LISP xTR is also a PIM First Hop Router (FH) or a Rendezvous Point (RP) and the device is only receiving traffic, ensure that at least one interface on the device is covered by a local LISP database mapping. No additional configuration is required to ensure that proper address is selected.

        Example: Configuring LISP Multicast in VRFs

        The following example shows how to enable and configure a simple LISP site with one IPv4 Routing locator (RLOC) and one IPv4 Endpoint identifier (EID) using xTR, a device which functions both as an Ingress tunnel router (ITR) and an Egress tunnel router (ETR), functionality and using a LISP map server and map resolver for mapping services: 

        Device> enable
Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# vrf definition VRF1
Device(config-vrf)# address-family ipv4
Device(config-vrf-af)# exit
Device(config-vrf)# exit
Device(config)# ip multicast-routing vrf VRF1 [distributed]
Device(config)# ip pim vrf VRF1 ssm range LIST1
Device(config)# router lisp 22
Device(config-router-lisp)# eid-table vrf VRF1 instance-id 10
Device(config-router-lisp-eid-table)# database-mapping 198.51.100.0/24 192.0.2.10 priority 1 weight 100
Device(config-router-lisp-eid-table)# exit
Device(config-router-lisp)# ipv4 itr
Device(config-router-lisp)# ipv4 etr
Device(config-router-lisp)# ipv4 itr map-resolver 192.0.2.10
Device(config-router-lisp)# ipv4 etr map-server 192.0.2.10 key 0 some-key
Device(config-router-lisp)# exit
Device(config)# interface lisp 22.10
Device(config-if)# ip pim sparse-mode
Device(config-if)# exit
Device(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.0.2.20
Device(config)# end
