Here is my question:
When you create a tunnel at the head-end, you can set the mplsTunnelIsIf
variable to TRUE and this specifies that an interface will be created over
the tunnel at the head-end. What is the procedure for identifying at the
tail-end that this tunnel is to be used as an interface (for the purpose of
receiving packets coming from the head-end)?.
Should a tail-end manual entry be made in the TE table ahead of time with
the mplsTunnelIsIf value set to TRUE?. If so, it does not seem like there is
a (documented) way to uniquely identify an incoming signalling message (for
tunnel termination) using the tail-end TE MIB specification. In other words
how do I match a user created tail-end configuration with (say) a RSVP
session that is terminating on this tail-end LSR.

Thanks
