Introduction
The ELS10-26 implements two non-standard features with respect
to the SNMP SetRequest:
• The variable bindings within a SetRequest are sometimes
processed sequentially rather than simultaneously. For example,
if a SetRequest contains two parameters with an incorrect value
specified for the second parameter, the ELS10-26 returns a
badValue error to the NMS; however, the ELS10-26 may have
updated its value for the first parameter.
• The values within the variable bindings of the returned
GetResponse may reflect meaningful information, rather than
being an exact copy of the values from the SetRequest. For
example, if a SetRequest contains two variable bindings, the first
specifying that memory should be examined and the second
specifying the contents of the memory, then the ELS10-26’s
GetResponse will update the value of the second variable
binding to contain the actual contents of the memory.
