In the code used to handle your mib there are two ways of checking for
a valid integer in the SET_RESERVE# blocks generated by mib2c:

One is a simple check to see if the value passed is an integer, the
other is a range check.

Usually mib2c uses the former call rather an range check.

At the moment I've not got my development machine with me to check
exact syntax but if you look in your agent code (assuming you used
mib2c to generate it) for the column in question in the SET_RESERVE1
block there is a comment refering to the option to use a check range
rather than the simple check type call (check range will validate the
type as well so its a straight swap - I believe from memory the
parameter list is the same with the addition of the upper and lower
bounds).
