Subject: question re: charPortAdminStatus
The description for charPortAdminStatus in RFC 1316 says:
"The port's desired state, independent of flow
control. 'enabled' indicates that the port is
allowed to pass characters and form new sessions.
'disabled' indicates that the port is allowed to
pass characters but not form new sessions. 'off'
indicates that the port is not allowed to pass
characters or have any sessions. 'maintenance'
indicates a maintenance mode, exclusive of normal
operation, such as running a test."
I am not sure what actions to take when someone tries to set this
object. What should happen if the value changes from "enabled" to
"disabled" or "off" while the charPortOperStatus is "active"? Does
"off" force charPortOperStatus to go to "down"? Just what does
"maintenance" mean?
Confused and looking for enlightenment,

p.s. Are there any archives for this mailing list? If so where are they?
