Description: This object represents Routing Protocol (RP) Triggers on a Virtual Router and it meant to be used to initiate or shutdown routing protocols on a VRF. Multiple RPs can be acted on simultaneously. Also, individual RPs can be brought up in steps, which should not affect the RPs that were running. The BITS represent an Action-code that specifies what action is to be performed for the RPs. The actions are: initiate(1) or shutdown(0).

The running status of an RP shall be available in the VRF stats table's rcVrfRpStatus, which has a similar format, but represents the status.

Bits 0-3 may be specified in any combination. Individual routing protocols may be enabled and disabled independently. Protocols are enabled by setting the respective BIT and are disabled by resetting the BIT.

So, for example, to enable RIP and BGP protocols the rcVrfRpTrigger bits 0 and 2 need to be set, and as encoded as 10100000. All zeros should be interpreted as all protocols disable.
