Major and minor error codes and SNMP value types
This section describes the possible major and minor error
codes and variable value types that can be returned in a NetView® SNMP response or trap.
- The major error code can have one of the following values:
Value Major error code 0 No error detected 1 SNMP agent reported error 2 Internally detected error - The minor error code can have one of the following values when
the major error code indicates that an SNMP agent detected an error
(1):
Value SNMP Agent detected minor error code 0 No error 1 Too big 2 No such name 3 Incorrect value 4 Read only 5 General error - The minor error code can have one of the following values when
the major error code indicates that an internal error was detected
(2):
Value Internal minor error code 0 No error 1 Protocol error 2 Out of memory 3 No response–all retries failed 4 Some I/O error occurred 5 Illegal request 6 Unknown host specified 7 Unknown MIB variable 8 No such filter 9 Too many variables specified - If the major error code indicates that an SNMP agent detected the error (1), the error index indicates the position of the first variable in error.
- The variable value type is one of the following, as specified
in RFC 1155 (Structure and Identification of Management Information
for TCP/IP-Based Internets) and RFC 1156 (Management Information
Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-Based Internets):
Value Value type 0 Text representation 1 Number (integer, signed) 2 Binary data string 3 Object identifier 4 Empty (no value) 5 IP address 6 Counter (unsigned) 7 Gauge (unsigned) 8 Time ticks (1/100ths seconds) 9 Display string Note: The binary data string is displayed in the NetView program as a contiguous string of hexadecimal characters (for example, X'0123' is displayed as 0123).
