Question for Handling the WRONGVALUE error

Hello list,

I'm new to net-snmp. Following the mib2c man page, I generated a pair of

souce code, and modified them a little bit.
The management object is an OCTET STRING, and the idea is, I want to
verify=20
the string when people SETing the value. If a malformed IPadress was
set,=20
then a WRONGVALUE error should be returned.

The handler works well when the verification success, but if it failed
for=20
once, even I SET some good strings after that, it fails also. I have
tried
to put the verify code to RESERVE2, but the result is the same.
So now if my subagent detected a wrong value once, it fails for ever. :(
What's problem? What can I do in this situation?

Thanks in advance,=20

Here is the implementation code:

int
handle_observedNetworks(netsnmp_mib_handler *handler,
netsnmp_handler_registration *reginfo,
netsnmp_agent_request_info *reqinfo,
netsnmp_request_info *requests)

{
DEBUGMSGTL(("observedNetworks",
"continuing request, mode =3D %d\n",
reqinfo->mode));
switch (reqinfo->mode) {

/** GET is simple here */
case MODE_GET:
snmp_set_var_typed_value(requests->requestvb, ASN_OCTET_STR,
(u_char *) observedNetworks_str,
strlen(observedNetworks_str));
break; =20

case MODE_SET_RESERVE1:

if ( requests->requestvb->type !=3D ASN_OCTET_STR) {

netsnmp_set_request_error(
reqinfo,
requests,
SNMP_ERR_WRONGVALUE //some error
);
return;
}
break;

case MODE_SET_RESERVE2:
break;

case MODE_SET_FREE:
break;

case MODE_SET_ACTION:

if (!verify_ip_range(requests->requestvb->val.string) ){
netsnmp_set_request_error(reqinfo, requests,
SNMP_ERR_BADVALUE);
}

strncpy(observedNetworks_str, requests->requestvb->val.string,
256);
break;

case MODE_SET_COMMIT:
break;

case MODE_SET_UNDO:
break;

default:
snmp_log(LOG_ERR, "unknown mode (%d) in
handle_observedNetworks\n",
reqinfo->mode);
return SNMP_ERR_GENERR;
}

return SNMP_ERR_NOERROR;
}
