16.1  Appendix A

This appendix describes the conversion of SNMPv2 to SNMPv1 error messages. The instrumentation functions should return v2 error messages.

Mapping of SNMPv2 error message to SNMPv1:

SNMPv2 message	SNMPv1 message
noError	noError
genErr	genErr
noAccess	noSuchName
wrongType	badValue
wrongLength	badValue
wrongEncoding	badValue
wrongValue	badValue
noCreation	noSuchName
inconsistentValue	badValue
resourceUnavailable	genErr
commitFailed	genErr
undoFailed	genErr
notWritable	noSuchName
inconsistentName	noSuchName
