Usage guidelines
TRILL distribution trees support ECMP, also known as multicast ECMP. When multicast ECMP is disabled,
because the topologies of TRILL distribution trees are different, traffic can be load shared. However,
equal-cost links are not used for load sharing. When multicast ECMP is enabled, TRILL can assign
equal-cost links to different TRILL distribution trees. This improves the load sharing performance.
Make sure the multicast ECMP status is the same on all RBs in the TRILL network. Otherwise, multicast,
broadcast, and unknown unicast frames might fail to be forwarded.
Examples
# Enable multicast ECMP.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] trill
[Sysname-trill] multicast-ecmp enable
nickname
Use nickname to configure the nickname for an RB.
Use undo nickname to restore the default.
Syntax
nickname nickname [ priority priority ]
undo nickname nickname
Defaults
The system automatically assigns nicknames to RBs. The priority for an RB to hold a nickname is 64.
