Cabletron Systems ELS10-26 manual Introduction

Introduction

The ELS10-26 implements two non-standard features with respect to the SNMP SetRequest:

•The variable bindings within a SetRequest are sometimes processed sequentially rather than simultaneously. For example, if a SetRequest contains two parameters with an incorrect value specified for the second parameter, the ELS10-26 returns a badValue error to the NMS; however, the ELS10-26 may have updated its value for the first parameter.

•The values within the variable bindings of the returned GetResponse may reflect meaningful information, rather than being an exact copy of the values from the SetRequest. For example, if a SetRequest contains two variable bindings, the first specifying that memory should be examined and the second specifying the contents of the memory, then the ELS10-26’s GetResponse will update the value of the second variable binding to contain the actual contents of the memory.
