1. A method comprising: configuring a local network element as an autonomic registrar for a designated network domain; establishing an autonomic control plane (“ACP”) between the local network element and one or more remote network elements identified by the local network element as a remote neighbor; designating a locally-defined subnet at the local network element to be extended to each of the one or more remote network elements; and executing an ACP command at the local network element, wherein the executing triggers a message to each of the one or more remote network elements, the message including information regarding the designated local subnet; wherein the information included in the message is used by each of the remote network elements to auto-resolve Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol (“LISP”) configuration of the remote network element, thereby enabling the designated local subnet to be extended to each of the one or more remote network elements.
