LISP

A very basic setup, that assumes a working underlay. I implemented this on my home lab of c7200s in GNS3 running 15.2(4)S7. My underlay was IS-IS to router loopbacks.

Site 1 EIDs - 192.168.100.0/24
Site 2 EIDs - 192.168.101.0/24

xTR for Site 1 - Lo0 16.16.16.16
xTR for Site 2 - Lo0 19.19.19.19

Site 1 - xTR - Config

R18# show run | s lisp

 ipv4 itr map-resolver 16.16.16.16
 ipv4 itr
 ipv4 etr map-server 16.16.16.16 key cisco

 exit
