The access defined in the MIB is the maximum access, not the minimum. An
implementation may not support that level of access.

And our agent doesn't support write access to that object.

You can't. The agent needs code to support a MIB, you can't just install a MIB
text file. That said, the upcoming 5.3 release include support for many of the
IP-FORWARD-MIB.

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
