What is hpSwitchEntityErrorMsg?

This field holds a human-readable text description explaining why a particular SNMP SET request failed on the switch, going beyond just the OID and numeric error code. Administrators read it to quickly understand the failure without needing to cross-reference an SNMP error code table. For example, it might contain text like "Value out of range for VLAN ID" to explain a rejected configuration attempt.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.68.1.1.1.6
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> HP-SWITCH-ERROR-MSG-MIB::hpSwitchEntityErrorMsg

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.68.1.1.1.6.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> HP-SWITCH-ERROR-MSG-MIB::hpSwitchEntityErrorMsg.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> hpSwitchEntityErrorMsg.1
