Automatic endpoint configuration allows the configuration of an endpoint without specifying the TAII associated with that spoke-sdp-fec. It allows a single-sided provisioning model where an incoming label mapping message with a TAII that matches the SAII of that spoke-SDP can be automatically bound to that endpoint. This is useful in scenarios where a service provider needs to separate service configuration from the service activation phase.
Automatic endpoint configuration is supported required for Epipe VLL spoke-sdp-fec endpoints bound to a VLL SAP. It is configured using the spoke-sdp-fec>auto-config command, and excludes the TAII from the configuration. When autoconfiguration is used, the node assumes passive behavior from a point of view of T-LDP signaling. Therefore, the far-end T-PE must be configured for signaling master for that spoke-sdp-fec.
