Jeff,

Thanks.   I think this may explain something I was seeing with Switch
Analyzer 1.2.
Some layer 2 devices were discovered properly as layer 2 devices (from the
system MIB values), but they weren't reporting their port status.
(Actually, they weren't responding to dot1dBridge MIB queries, at all).

I think it is a bug with Switch Analyzer.
