Re: SNMPv3 Debian Question

Hi Jayshankar,

Because system.sysContact.0 is read-only.   snmpd.conf on your device could
have directive 'sysContact'.
snmpd.conf manpage says that specifying sysContact directives in
snmpd.conf  makes the corresponding object read-only, and attempts to SET
it will result in a *notWritable* error response.

Thanks,
Pushpa.T
