Subject: Bridge MIB dot1dStp group

This group is defined as optional and is implemented by bridges
that support the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).

Q1) If the bridge supports STP but it is disabled, should this group
    be accessable or should NO_SUCH be returned?

Q2) If the group IS accessable even though STP is disabled, 
    and the user sets the object dot1dStpPortEnable, 
    should this cause the bridge port to immediately be 
    disabled/enabled or should it take affect only when 
    STP is enabled? 

Q3) What is the relationship between the objects 
    ifAdminStatus and dot1dStpPortEnable?  Should changes in 
    one be reflected in the other?  E.g. Setting ifAdminStatus
    to down for interface N causes dot1dStpPortEnable for port
    N to be disabled.  And vice-versa?
	

Thanks in advance,

David
