     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
