For a port running spanning tree, this object represents the operational point-to-point status of the LAN segment attached to this port. It indicates whether a port is considered to have a point-to-point connection. If adminPointToPointMAC is set to auto(2), then the value of operPointToPointMAC is determined in accordance with the specific procedures defined for the MAC entity concerned, as defined in 6.5 of IEEE 802.1w. The value is determined dynamically; that is, it is re-evaluated whenever the value of adminPointToPointMAC changes, and whenever the specific procedures defined for the MAC entity evaluate a change in its point-to-point status. For a VIP, this object simply reflects the value of the corresponding instance of ieee8021BridgeBasePortAdminPointToPoint. The value will be true(1) if that object is forceTrue(1), and the value will be false(2) if the value of that object is either forceFalse(2) or auto(3).
