cse Snmp Error Table

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.305.1.2.1

A table containing information about the errors which have recently caused the generation of a SNMP Response PDU with a non-zero value in its error-status field for SNMP Set Response PDU. This table serves as an extension to the SNMP's error status when a SNMP Set request fails. SNMP returns only a pre-defined set of standard error codes which does not convey the specific cause for an error. Typically, there is an incumbent and sizable burden on the configuration application to determine if the configuration request failure is the result of a resource issue, a security issue, or an application error (like an object depending on some other objects). So from a user perspective, it is important that a specific error be made known. Ideally, when a 'badValue' error occurs for a given set request, an application can query the command responder for more details on the error. This table provides a framework for the command responders to provide more information on the SET errors. It is up to the implementation to create entries in this table for either only certain SNMP errors or all of the SNMP errors. Note that only most recent incarnation of an entry is kept in this table.
