This read-only enumerated value reports whether this router's role for the static CR-LSP is transit(1), forwarding traffic through, or tail(2), terminating the LSP at this node. An admin uses this to confirm each router along a manually configured path has the role it was intended to have, which is important since misconfiguring a tail router as transit (or vice versa) breaks the LSP. For example, h3cTeTunnelStaticCrlspRole=tail(2) confirms this device is the intended egress endpoint for that static-crlsp rather than a midpoint hop.
