When you set up a TRILL network, avoid the case that multiple TRILL neighbors are established for
one TRILL port, for example, the networks in

shows a typical network where two TRILL neighbors are established for the same port of an
, because TRILL is disabled on the port connecting RB 2 to RB 3, the port will
transparently transmit the TRILL Hello frames from RB 3. As a result, two TRILL neighbors are
established for the port connecting RB 1 to RB 2.

After you enable TRILL on a port, TRILL can operate correctly by using default settings. A port with
TRILL enabled is called a TRILL port.
