Definitions of Managed Objects for Routing Bridges (RBridges)
Abstract
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols. In particular, it defines
objects for managing a Routing Bridge (RBridge), also known as a
TRILL Switch, based on the IETF TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of
Lots of Links) protocol.

1. Introduction
This document describes a model for managing Routing Bridges
(RBridges), also known as TRILL Switches, as defined in [RFC6325].
RBridges provide optimal pair-wise forwarding without configuration
using IS-IS routing and encapsulation of traffic. RBridges are
compatible with previous IEEE 802.1 customer bridges as well as IPv4
and IPv6 routers and end nodes. They are as invisible to current IP
routers as bridges are and, like routers, they terminate the bridge
spanning tree protocol. In creating an RBridge management model, the
