Usage guidelines
A nickname is an RB's address in the TRILL network.
In the TRILL network, when multiple RBs hold the same nickname, the RB with the highest priority uses the nickname.
When the RBs also 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 to 198 for the RB to hold the nickname.
