I have many scalar variables that are managed by an external (from SNMP agent point of view) device. If this external device doesn't communicate with the agent (it is connected through a RS232 port), this group of scalar variables can't be accessed, so I decided to return a noSuchInstance error to GET requests (I tried with a genErr, but in this case a walk will block on this variable).
Now I'm deciding which error codes to return if the user send a SET request for this kind of variable. I'm in doubt among notWritable, noCreation and genErr. What is the best method to return this error in the handler? I think I have to call netsnmp_set_request_error() in the MODE_SET_COMMIT phase: netsnmp_set_request_error(reqinfo, requests, SNMP_ERR_NOCREATION); return SNMP_ERR_NOERROR; Is it correct to return SNMP_ERR_NOERROR in this case? Actually I ignore the other MODE_SET_ steps (return SNMP_ERR_NOERROR for them). Should I manage also these steps and in which way? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
