TRILL Network Configuration Example

Use the following TRILL network example as a reference for configuration details. The numbers indicate the TRILL network port numbers that connect each switch. The RBridges are named A, B, C, and D and have the following nicknames, respectively: 101, 102, 103, and 104. The default VLAN is the TRILL designated VLAN. Access VLAN 10 is connected to the TRILL network using Rbridges A and D, while access VLAN 20 is attached using Rbridges A and B. The access VLAN 30 is connected using Rbridges C and D. For this example, all of the VLANs are connected through ports 10-20 on each switch.
