Hi All, I had a look into the latest draft of Bridge MIB and I have a doubt regarding dot1dStpPortEnable. 1. What is the expected behaviour of the port in STP when the object is set to disabled? 2. What is the effect of setting this object on L2 and L3 Data forwarding ? As I understand, dot1dStpPortEnable is to be used to enable/disable STP on a port. i.e STP calculation exclude this port. In case of RSTP, the port will be in Disabled/Discarding. Is it proper to apply STP roles/States to a port that is not under the control of STP? When we set this object to disabled, should this port stop forwarding Layer 2 packets? What is the relation between dot1dStpPortEnable and ifMainStaus of the interface? Thanks in advance, Navaneeth. ___________________________________________________ Meet your old school or college friends from 1 Million + database...
