[Rstplib-users] dot1dStpPortEnable/MAC Enabled/portEnabled/non-stp ports ?

[Imagine T. <ter...@ya...>]

Hi All,

I would like to ask the clarifications for
relations between these ideas:
- dot1dStpPortEnable from BRIDGE-MIB (RFC 1493)
- MAC Enabled from 6.4.2 of 802.1t
- Disabled Port (802.1d, Clause 7.4 and Figure 8-3)
- portEnabled (802.1w, Clause 17.18.15)
- 'non-stp' port in "Open Source 802.1w Library &
Simulator"

Actualy, I guess:
does disabled Port participate in
Forwarding process and is excluding only from STP
operation,
or it is exculding from the LAN, i.e. it is "dead" at
all ?

Thanx, Imagine
