Requested revision
Standard:802.1Q-2012Clause:17.7.3, 17.4.3
Clause title:Definitions for the IEEE8021-SPANNING-TREE MIB module,
Rationale for revision
ieee8021SpanningTreePortPathCost has MAX-ACCESS of read-write and it is 
described as a writable object in 17.4.3. On the other hand, the 
DESCRIPTION of ieee8021SpanningTreeRstpPortAdminPathCost says "...This 
complements the object ieee8021SpanningTreePortPathCost, which returns 
the operational value of the path cost..."


If ieee8021SpanningTreePortPathCost is operational it should not be 
writable.
Proposed text
1. Change the MAX-ACCESS of ieee8021SpanningTreePortPathCost to read-only.

2. Substitute ieee8021SpanningTreeRstpPortAdminPathCost for 
ieee8021SpanningTreePortPathCost in the list of writable objects, in 17.4.3
