Answer is "A": https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/nx-os/vxlan/configuration/guide/b_NX-OS_VXLAN_Configuration_Guide/campus-fabric.pdf "Fabric Edge Node : Fabric edge nodes are responsible for admitting, encapsulating/decapsulating and forwarding traffic to and from endpoints connected to the fabric edge"

Selected Answer: A
Subtle nuance, B is wrong because encap is VLXAN, LISP is the control plane EID/RLOC mgmt.

Selected Answer: B
A is true and B is equally true. Consider that an SD-Access Fabric Edge Node is a LISP tunnel router (xTR). Given the LISP definition of xTR from the Official Cert Guide: * Ingress tunnel router (ITR): ITRs are LISP routers that LISP encapsulate IP packets coming from EIDs that are destined outside the LISP site. * Egress tunnel router (ETR): ETRs are LISP routers that de-encapsulate LISP-encapsulated IP packets coming from sites outside the LISP site and destined to EIDs within the LISP site. * Tunnel router (xTR): xTR refers to routers that perform ITR and ETR functions (which is most routers). Therefore the Edge Node is tunneling endpoint (EID) traffic.

B can never be true. This is SD-Access. Data-plane is VXLAN encapsulated. Control-Plane is LISP encapsulated.

So I agree here but there's an extra cavate in that the SD-Access could be using VXLAN for the data plane which would mean that the end-user data is technically encapsulated by VXLAN then LISP on top of it. B is true in some regards but this interpretation would mean that choice A is more true.

Control Plane Nodes: Map system that manages endpoint-to-device relationships Fabric Border Nodes: A fabric device (for example, Core) that connects the external Layer 3 networks to the SD-Access fabric Fabric Edge Nodes: A fabric device (for example access or distribution) that connects wired endpoints to the SD-Access fabric

The role of the fabric Edge node is to provide connectivity to wired endpoint by forwarding traffic to and from endpoints connected to the fabric edge.

B is not wrong but its not its main job: A fabric edge provides a single Layer 3 anycast gateway (that is, the same SVI with the same IP address on all fabric edge nodes) for its connected endpoints and also performs the encapsulation and de-encapsulation of host traffic to and from its connected endpoints. From cisco official book.

B is wrong because SD-access uses VXLAN encapsulation (not LISP), LISP is only used as a control plane. Mapping EID RLOC.

i think, the answer is not B because B its refer to a Ingress tunnel router (ITR) not a edge node
