setting ifAdminStatus when interface cannot go up

just wondering if anyone had any advice on how to handle a request to
set ifAdminStatus up when the condition of the unit meant the operation
could not currently be supported (e.g. ifOperStatus = notPresent).
1. Do we allow the ifAdminStatus to be set but happily ignore it
(according to rfc 2863, section 3.1.13  ifAdminStatus not down and
ifOperStatus down indicates an error condition, and in our case it's not
really an error condition).
2. Silently ignore the request (i.e. return success but don't set
value).
3. Immediately return an error code e.g. inconsistentValue.
 
I couldn't see anything that specifically mentioned the error handling
in the RFC.
 
Any thoughts?
 
Adam.
