Are you sure that the agent is receiving multiple copies of the same request? Remember that the Net-SNMP agent uses a multi-pass SET processing model, which means that the same handler routines will be called several times for a single SET request. The last section of the file AGENT.txt describes this behaviour in more detail. (Don't be misled by the fact that this describes the old v4-style API - the basic model is the same for the v5 handlers as well). > Any pointers as to whether the retries need to be limited at the NMS end or > the agent’s end?

If the SET request *is* actually received more than once, then this is something that will have to be tackled at the NMS end.
