350-401 · Question #1229

Which device, in a LISP routing architecture, receives and de-encapsulates LISP traffic for endpoints within a LISP-capable site?

The correct answer is B. ETR. In a LISP architecture, the Egress Tunnel Router (ETR) is responsible for receiving encapsulated LISP traffic and forwarding the original IP packets to the intended endpoints within its local site.

Why each option

In a LISP architecture, the Egress Tunnel Router (ETR) is responsible for receiving encapsulated LISP traffic and forwarding the original IP packets to the intended endpoints within its local site.

AMR

An MR (Map Resolver) is responsible for receiving LISP map-requests from an ITR and forwarding them to the appropriate Map Server (MS).

BETRCorrect

An ETR (Egress Tunnel Router) receives LISP-encapsulated IP packets destined for endpoints in its LISP site, de-encapsulates them, and then forwards the original IP packets to the correct destination host within its site.

CMS

An MS (Map Server) receives map-register messages from ETRs, stores the EID-to-RLOC mappings, and responds to map-requests forwarded by Map Resolvers.

DITR

An ITR (Ingress Tunnel Router) is responsible for receiving IP packets from non-LISP hosts or sites and encapsulating them with a LISP header before forwarding them towards the destination ETR.
