| Description | 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. |
