What is Error 5?

Votes:

0

Hi there, im using snmpwalk on the snmp tester. I wanted to find what I could and make a MIB for my PC.

Running the test, all was going well until OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.77.1.1.4.0 at which point it shows error:5. So, I tried it on a different PC with exactly the same point of failure. I can't find any info on what error 5 is. But since this happend on 2 PCs I'm wondering if its a common mistake on windows pcs? What does Error 5 mean?

Many thanks in advance, Phil

Is this error showing in the SNMP result part of the output? We would need to see the output of the SNMP tester https://www.paessler.com/tools/snmptester to know better. If the error is what the device is reporting, we dont have a way to know what the manufacturer set for that code.
