The access defined in the MIB is the maximum access, not the minimum. An
implementation may not support that level of access.

> snmpset -v 2c -c mycomm 127.0.0.1 ip.ipForwarding i 1 ,
> reutrns: Error in packet. Variable notWriteable

And our agent doesn't support write access to that object.

You can't. The agent needs code to support a MIB, you can't just install a MIB
text file. That said, the upcoming 5.3 release include support for many of the
IP-FORWARD-MIB.
