RE: [Bridge-mib] I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-bridge-rstpmib-02.txt

Hi,
I would like to remind my conversation with Les (see below).
I don't see this problem solved in the draft.
Do you want to comment this issue?
Yours truly, Alex 

On Thu, 28 Feb 2002 10:28:41 +0200 I replied (asked):
Alex>Les,
Alex>We would like to define "auto selection" for PortPathCost.
Alex>I mean, for example, if dot1dStpAdminPortPathCost32 is set to "0",
Alex>the agent could select dot1dStpOperPortPathCost32 automatically,
Alex>corresponding to table 17-7 in 17.28.2 of 802.1s.
Alex>When dot1dStpAdminPortPathCost32 is set to positive value, agent could
Alex>use this value for dot1dStpOperPortPathCost32.
Alex>I don't see any other solution to force the agent to use table 17.7.
Alex>May be I missed something?

Alex>Thank you for your interest in my remarks, Alex

Les> Alex> I expected to see here the objects

Les> Alex> instead of a single dot1dStpPortPathCost32.
Les> Alex> What about it ?
Les> Alex,
Les> Can you explain why we need an Admin and Operational version 
Les> of PathCost, please?
Les> Under what circumstances could these values differ?
