Fabric Control Plane Node

The SD-Access role running the LISP map server and map resolver, tracking where every endpoint is attached.

Definition

Edge nodes register endpoints with the control plane node and query it when forwarding. It is often colocated with the border node in smaller deployments.

Example

A Catalyst 9500 serves as colocated control plane and border node.

Exam tip

The control plane node is the LISP MS/MR, the 'database' of host locations.
