Configuring the system ID and nickname for an RB

The system ID and nickname of an RB are identifiers of the RB in the TRILL network.

System ID—Unique identifier of an RB in the TRILL network. The system ID can be automatically
assigned or manually configured.

Nickname—Address of an RB in the TRILL network. The address can be automatically assigned or
manually configured. When multiple RBs in the TRILL network have the same nickname, the RB with
the highest priority uses the nickname. When RBs have the same priority, the RB with the highest

system ID uses the nickname. The system automatically assigns new nicknames to the other RBs.

If you set a new different system ID for an RB, the system resets the TRILL process.
To configure the system ID and nickname for an RB:

Configuring the link type of a TRILL port

The following link types are available for a TRILL port:

Access—Access ports include access ports without the alone attribute and access ports with the

alone attribute. Access ports with the alone attribute do not send or receive Hello frames and do not
participate in the DRB election or AVF negotiation. Access ports without the alone attribute can

process only local data frames and Hello frames.

Hybrid—A hybrid port combines the attributes of an access port and a trunk port, and can process
local data frames and passing data frames.

Trunk—A trunk port can process passing data frames and some of Layer 2 protocol frames (for
example, LLDP frames), but it cannot process local data frames.
