It doesn't *have* to be done in any one place - it's up to you where and how you do any particular processing. One possible arrangement might be: RESERVE1: check individual assignment validity RESERVE2: apply assignments to a temporary copy ACTION: check overall consistency of the full SET request COMMIT: make the temporary assignments permanent. Alternatively, if you're using the v5-style handler mechanism, you can take advantage of the fact that all of the assignments for a given table will be processed together. So you could run through the list of varbinds and apply the assignments to the temporary copy in the ACTION pass. Then *after* this loop has finished, check the consistency of this temporary copy. But there's no One Right Place to handle this. It's up to you. > If SNMP SET command given with the multiple varbinds, like SET is given for > the both the objects "a" and "b" > 1. snmpset ......localhost a.1 i 1(IPv4) b.1 a 192.16.10.20 ======> This > SET will be success. > 2. snmpset ..... localhost b.1 a fe80::10c:66cf:fe12:f3c a.1 i 2(IPv6) > what about this SET[If the data storing and consistency check is done in the > ACTION mode, i think this will fail but it should have succeeded]. SNMP specifies that SET processing must happen "as if simultaneously", which implies that the order of varbinds should not make a difference. So you should not check for consistency until *all* of the new assignments have been applied. The two arrangements above both handle this properly. You can choose either - whichever seems better for you.
