I'm confused by what Net-SNMP (5.6.rc2) is doing when interacting with
my AgentX sub-agent.
I have two regions registered, and I perform a getnext to the master...
The master sends an AgentX getNext PDU on the first region looking for a
positive response. Unfortunately, the 'next' variable isn't within that
range
so my sub-agent returns endOfMibView as per (RFC2741 7.32.3.2 paragraph 2)
So then the master sends another AgentX getNext PDU for the second region.
This time, my sub-agent responds with 'no error' and the appropriate
varbind.
The master then responds back to the NMS with GenErr. Huh?
I see in the source code (agent/mibgroup/agentx/master.c:345) that
it has recorded the first error (endOfMibView) inside the response
packet, but the subsequent 'noError' did not 'undo' that error.
Either I'm doing something wrong and _I_ shouldn't be returning endOfMibView
or the master shouldn't be permanently setting that error, (because its
going to try again on another region, (till it runs out of regions)).
Any insight would be appreciated.
