Hi,
This thread belongs on snmpv3(_at_)lists(_dot_)tislabs(_dot_)com and probably
not on ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org(_dot_) Moreover, I haven't been following
this thread real closely and I'm not sure who owns the
following quoted material but:
The normal use of error-index is to indicate which varbind may have been the
source of the error. I suspect many agents don't get this fancy though and
don't make use of the field.
Very wrong. Only a very broken agent would not use the
error-index field to point to the varbind for which an
error-status is being returned.
I'm proposing to use this field instead as an index to an error details table.
This is a non-starter due to error in your
suspicion above.
Cordially,
