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 must separate the service configuration from the service activation phase.
Automatic endpoint configuration is supported and 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 with regards to T-LDP signaling. Therefore, the far-end T-PE must be configured for signaling master for that spoke-SDP FEC.
