Usage guidelines
The nickname of an RB is the address of the RB in the TRILL network.
When multiple RBs in the TRILL network hold 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.
Examples
# Set the nickname to 0x0001 for the RB, and set the priority for the RB to hold the nickname to 198.
