Error status code Meaning

Error status code Meaning

9wrongEncoding

Note

You might not see the codes. The SNMP manager or utility interprets the codes and displays and logs the appropriate message.

The subsequent, or fourth field, contains the error index when the error-status field is nonzero, that is, when the error-status field returns a value other than zero, which indicates that an error occurred. The error-index value identifies the variable, or object, in the variable-bindings list that caused the error. The first variable in the list has index 1, the second has index 2, and so on.

The next, or fifth field, is the variable-bindings field. It consists of a sequence of pairs; the first is the identifier. The second element is one of the following five: value, unSpecified, noSuchOjbect, noSuchInstance, and EndofMibView. The following table describes each element.
