Re: how to install NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB:: nsCacheTable for ifTable = 1

Which shows that this *is* an access control problem.

You've got the same community string set as both read-only, and read-write.
Why?

read-write allows reading and writing, so allows everything covered by
read-only.
But the "rocommunity" setting gets picked up first, and this
explicitly disallows
SET requests.


Use one or the other - not both,

It's also a bad idea to use "rwcommunity" with a well-known community
string such as "private" or "public".    That might be just about OK on a
completely isolated private network,  but anything connected to the internet
should use a secret community string, or (better) use SNMPv3
