The lisp beta command is only applicable to the Cisco NX-OS device.
Usage Guidelines
In order to run LISP on the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switch, the functionality must be enabled by using
the lisp beta command. When enabled, hardware forwarding of LISP packets is automatically enabled,
assuming that at least one 32x10GE line card is installed. Hardware forwarding is the default mode of
operation when LISP is enabled.
You can disable hardware forwarding by using the no ip lisp hardware-forwarding command.
Caution
However, we strongly discourage that you do not do so. Its use is intended for diagnostic functions only.
Additional caveats and requirements apply when LISP is configured on the Cisco NX-OS device only.
In order for LISP to operate, you must configure at least one tunnel interface (or any type) on the system.
If no tunnel interface is configured, you must configure an arbitrary (unused) tunnel interface. The only
requirements for the tunnel is that the source be active or up and that the destination be reachable, usually
by matching a default route to exit the switch or by using a loopback interface that is not in a shutdown
state. An example is as follows:
interface Tunnel101
tunnel source Ethernet10/9
tunnel destination 10.1.1.1
no shutdown
