Hi Artur,

The configuration looks good.
If you want to use lispmob as an xTR, you should compile the package with platform=router (make platform=router). Once you run LISPmob in xTR mode, the tun0 interface will have the following address assigned:

 * 127.0.0.127  -> If the router has IPv4 EIDs configured
 * ::127/128 -> If the router has IPv6 EIDs configured

What you call EID loopback will be the address assigned to the interface where the clients of the xTR are connected. This address is not assigned by LISPmob and should be configured before starting it. The clients connected to the xTR are normal hosts without knowledge of lisp. They have assigned an IP from the EID-prefix and their gateway will be the "EID loopback".

 * The traffic from clients going through the xTR is encapsulated
 * Traffic generated by the own xTR is not encapsulated

I hope this clarify your doubts.

Best regards

Albert

Hi,
Is this a correct configuration file for lispmob xtr running on linux?

What are EID loopbacks, how am I supposed to use them?
EID loopback: 153.16.49.225
EID loopback ipv6: 2610:D0:2164::153:16:49:225

I understand that a lispmob xtr is supposed to encapsulate/decapsulate
all ingress/egress traffic.
Does it mean that nodes behind xtr do not need to be mobile nodes and
they need to be assigned EIDs from xtr's EID-prefix (EID-prefix:
153.16.49.224/28, EID-prefix ipv6: 2610:D0:2164::/48)?

Regards,
Artur
