I am having problems interpreting the use of two objects in RFC 3621. The pethPsePortAdminEnable is a read-write object that has a truth value where true indicates that interface can provide the PSE function and false indicates that it should not. As a read object this makes sense but it is unclear what is intended as a write object. What should occur if the interface can provide PSE functionality and it is set to false? Is this an implied disable of the interface or does it mean that the remaining SNMP PSE objects no longer apply? The pethPsePortDetectionStatus has a state of "disabled" but this object is read only. Unless there is some implied "disable" function in the pethPsePortAdminEnable object I do not see a means of getting an interface into a disabled state via the MIB. Am I interpreting this incorrectly or is this a deficiency of the MIB? Thanks, Jeff -- Jeff Miller ADC Telecommunications 1187 Park Place, Shakopee, MN 55379 952-403-8637 [email protected]
