RE: Issue with IP-FORWARD-MIB and other standard mibs

I saw a similar failure with other mibs when the access table was not setup
properly. If read only is specified and you try read/write then you would
see this error as well. The config is in snmpd.conf

Group MyROGroup v2c local
Group MyRWGroup v2c local
Group MyRWGroup v2c MyNetwork


This is found in EXAMPLE.conf

The most likely cause of that is that the agent probably doesn't
implement SET support for these particular objects.

No - they have *MAX* access read-write.
That doesn't automatically mean that the agent contains the code necessary
to support SET requests. It's fairly common to implement a read-only view
of a MIB table. Reporting the current state is much easier than updating
it.
