errStatusDesc
Module: ERR-STATUS-MIB
OID (symbolic): ERR-STATUS-MIB::errStatusDesc
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.351.910.2.1.3
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: DisplayString
Access: read-only
Description: This object contains error status information for failed SETS to one or more objects. This object is updated only on failed SETS.
Since the SNMP standard allows only limited number of error status returns, the managers can retrieve this variable to get additional information on a failed SET. Typically this object will contain information specifiying date, type of operation object in error and additional error information.
What is errStatusDesc?
This is a free-text description explaining why a particular SNMP SET request failed, since the standard SNMP protocol only returns a limited numeric error code. An admin reads this text when troubleshooting a rejected configuration change, since it can spell out the offending object and reason in more detail than the raw SNMP error status alone. This field might contain something like "SET failed on ifAdminStatus: value out of range," giving the admin the specific object and cause of the failure.
