I get that. But why is then an snmp ERROR code "authorizationError (16)" exist if the agent does not respond ? Also is there a straight way to get the error code from the execution of an SNMP command, rather than processing from the debug output/raw packet hexdump ? I tried to set a MIB object, which the user does not have write access to. The debug ("-D ALL") output is as follows: dumph_recv: error status dumpx_recv: 02 01 11 dumpv_recv: Integer: 17 (0x11) Here 17 indicates "notWritable". But should i process this debug o/p to get the error code or is there any clean way ?? I even checked out the bash exit value of snmpset. It returned 2 ???? > 3.
