2013-05-15 May 2013 Interim Technical Review – Norm Finn. Initial view: In Ieee8021SpanningTreePortEntry and Ieee8021MstpCistPortEntry, the PathCost variables controlling the cost of this port are an oper/admin pair. Apparently, for historical reasons, the oper cost in Ieee8021SpanningTreePortEntry is read-write but it is (properly) read-only in Ieee8021MstpCistPortEntry. But, in Ieee8021MstpPortEntry, there is only a read-write oper object, and no admin object. This makes it impossible to say, "go back to being controlled by the link speed" after once changing the value administratively. Add a new admin variable to Ieee8021MstpPortEntry, with the same relationship to ieee8021MstpPortPathCost that ieee8021SpanningTreeRstpPortAdminPathCost has to ieee8021SpanningTreePortPathCost in the Ieee8021SpanningTreePortEntry. Target for 802.1Qrev, if needed Technical experts review
