Hello guys!
I was wondering is this the right place to ask my questions, but thought should be fine.
As I am a newbie to the LISP world, I’ve been reading a lot about it recently, but really got stuck on some fundamental bits & pieces.
Being reading this article I got really confused about this part:
“Once 10.200.7.42 notices it has a new server to take care of, it installs a specific /32 address in its routing table and registers the /32 address with a map-register message with the map server. Now if 172.16.4.7 initiates traffic back to 192.168.1.12, the router 10.200.7.42 (the xTR serving 172.16.4.7) will send a solicit-map-request message to 10.10.1.1 (the xTR serving 192.168.1.12) telling it to send out a map-request message for 172.16.4.7, even thought it thinks it already has a valid RLOC for that address. 10.10.1.1 will send out a new map-request for 172.16.4.7 which results in 10.200.7.42 sending a map-reply back which then leads 10.10.1.1 to install the /32 EID/RLOC info in its map cache..”
My questions here:
1. What happens with traditional/fundamental rules of IP routing when we move 172.16.4.7? Who’s now becoming a new gateway for that host? Do we need to configure /24 secondary address (172.16.4.1) on the router interface facing the 172.16.4.7?
2. What happens with 172.16.4.6 to 172.16.4.7 communication here? If we are stretching VLANs using OTC/MPLS/Pure Ethernet – that should be fine (but this is not the LISP case), but if don’t do that? Do we use some kind of proxy-arp mechanism to forward communication between EIDs?
3. In LISP world – how do we authenticate ITR mappings? I mean, how are we authorize router X to be ETR for specific prefix? With traditional IP routing that’s achieved using RIPE database and route objects (bind to AS).
I have quite a few more questions, but these should be good start! Thank you so much in advance and sorry if those sound too lame
