Why each option

In a Cisco SD-Access architecture, the Control Plane node uses LISP to manage host location information and provide mapping services across the fabric.

ALISP proxy ETR

LISP proxy ETR (PxETR) is a data plane function typically performed by a fabric border node to route traffic to and from non-LISP domains.

Bhost tracking databasepolicyCorrect

The Control Plane node maintains the Host Tracking Database (HTDB), which stores Endpoint ID (EID) to Routing Locator (RLOC) mappings, essentially tracking where all hosts are located within the SD-Access fabric.

Cmapping

While the control plane orchestrates policy application, 'policy mapping' is a general term; the specific core LISP functions of the control plane are related to host tracking and map services.

Dmap serverCorrect

The Control Plane node in Cisco SD-Access functions as the LISP Map-Server, which is responsible for receiving EID registrations from fabric edge nodes and responding to EID lookup requests from fabric border nodes.

Eendpoint registration

Endpoint registration is a function performed by the fabric edge nodes (ETRs) when they send host reachability information to the Control Plane node (Map-Server).
