SGT Propagation, Termination, and Generation
The security group tag (SGT) allows the network to enforce the access control policy by enabling the endpoint
device to act upon the SGT to filter traffic.
At the ingress point, traffic from the source is tagged with an SGT containing the security group number of
the source entity. The SGT is propagated with the traffic across the domain. At the egress point, an egress
device uses the source SGT and the security group number of the destination entity to determine which access
policy to apply from the security group access control lists (SGACL) policy matrix.
The least significant 16 bits in the reserved field of the VXLAN header is used to carry the SGT information.
For traffic ingressing the site from internet a mechanism is needed to classify the packets as internet packets
and drive SGT based on the classification. This SGT is used in the reserved field of the VXLAN header during
VXLAN encapsulation.
For traffic egressing the site the SGT field should be used from the reserved field during VXLAN decapsulation
and policy enforcement can be done based on the sg tag. This is where M3 module acts as a PETR. This is
enabled using theip lisp sgt command.
Multicast Head-end Replication
Head-end replication for LISP multicast over a unicast core is supported on M3 modules.
Head-end replication accomplishes the need of a multicast transport for Overlay Transport Virtualization
(OTV) control plane communications. Multicast transport is used to let a single OTV update or packets to
reach all other OTV devices using a specific multicast group address across domains.
LISP Multicast configuration on an ETR or ITR is covered in the "VXLAN Encapsulation for Layer-3 LISP
Configuration" section described above.
TTL Propagation
TTL (Time-to-Live) is a setting for each DNS record that specifies how long a resolver should cache the DNS
query before the query expires and a new query needs to be made.
TTL propagation from the inner header to the outer header during VXLAN encapsulation is done based on a
CLI. On enabling this CLI, the TTL propagation will be disabled from the inner header to the outer header
during encapsulation. This is enabled using the lisp disable-ttl-propagate command.
