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 is automatically bound to that endpoint. This is useful in scenarios where a service provider wants to separate service configuration from the service activation phase.
Automatic endpoint configuration is supported for Epipe VLL spoke-sdp-fec endpoints bound to a VLL SAP. It is configured using the spoke-sdp-fec auto-config command, and excluding the TAII from the configuration. When auto-configuration is used, the node assumes passive behavior from a point of view of T-LDP signaling. See Active/passive T-PE selection for more information.Therefore, the far-end T-PE must be configured as the signaling master for that spoke-sdp-fec.
