LISP/VXLAN Basic Bundle

Campus Fabrics are an important part of today's software-defined network world. SDN Controllers are often used to deploy the underlying technologies in production, and because of this, labbing the technologies present a challenge to those without access to the appliances.

This workbook aims to provide a labbing option for people who have access to virtual environments in order to give hands-on experience with LISP and VXLAN, two technologies which underpin campus fabric solutions such as Cisco's SD-Access.

While the workbook does not give access to the controller appliances, it does go into depth on what the technologies do and how they are used. LISP and VXLAN are excellent technologies, though they can be complex to implement.

There are three labs in this basic workbook to get you started configuring a campus fabric:

1. Configure an IS-IS Underlay Network
2. Configure the LISP xTR Control Plane (Edge)
3. Configure the LISP MS/MR Control Plane (CP Node)

After completing the tasks in this workbook, you will have a basic single-site campus fabric and the understanding of how it works. Be sure to pick up the workbook solutions guide as well for in-depth configuration and technology explanations!

This solutions guide is a companion to the LISP/VXLAN Basic Workbook. In this solutions guide we cover the answers to the tasks presented in the Basic workbook along with detailed explanations of the solutions themselves. This solutions guide should not be used without the workbook.
