Net-SNMP: snmpbulkget - genError failure - net-snmp

Question

I am attempting to implement Net-SNMP 5.7.3 on a 64-bit Linux server. Currently I hit a road-block in not being able to determine why my Linux server returns an error code whenever a getBulkRequest comes in for OID that has MIBs underneath it. I am able to get the info for each MIB when I use snmpget against its corresponding OID, but when I perform snmpbulkget, I keep getting
Error in packet.
Reason: (genError) A general failure occured
Failed object: MY-ELEMENT-MIB::myModel.0
I think my problem lies in my Agent's SNMP configuration file, but I have been unable to resolve this. Anyhow, in case I am wrong, I am posting everything I have done thus far. Hopefully my "cleaned up" code makes it easier to follow and helps someone else out in the future; I struggled to get this far.
My snmp.conf I used to startup my Agent (placed in /etc/snmp/). I am using v2c and leaving it open to public.

After I startup snmpd (the Agent), I startup a sub-Agent Daemon in my C++ application. Here is the Daemon example I followed
http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial/tutorial-5/toolkit/demon/example-demon.c
Here is the C++ sub-Agent code I implemented. Daemon calls my init_myMibSubAgent() instead of init_nstAgentSubagentObject().

Trap Target Configuration Entry Creation:
=========================================
When creating a trap target configuration entry
the manager should use a GET operation to
determine the value of myTtCfgTableNextIndex.0.
If this value is non-zero, the manager can then
use this value as the index while creating a
table row.
The process of creating and activating a row of
this table takes two forms: the one-set mode and
the multiple-set mode.
In the one-set mode, a manager must specify the
values of myTtCfgIpAddress and myTtCfgCommunity
required to activate a row in a single SET operation
along with an assignment of the myTtCfgEntryStatus
to 'createAndGo(4)'. If the values and instances
supplied are correct, an instance of the trap target
configuration is created and the value of
myTtCfgEntryStatus transitions to 'active(1)'.
for example:
============
SnmpGet(<myTtCfgTableNextIndex.0, NULL>)
returns
<myTtCfgTableNextIndex.0, 2>
SnmpSet(<myTtCfgIpAddress.2, 192.158.104.93>,
<myTtCfgCommunity.2, 'public'>,
<myTtCfgEntryStatus.2, createAndGo(4)>)
returns
<myTtCfgIpAddress.2, 192.158.104.93>,
<myTtCfgCommunity.2, 'public'>,
<myTtCfgEntryStatus.2, active(1)>
In the multiple-set mode, creating a trap target
configuration table row, filling it with values,
and activating it are carried out in discrete steps.
To create the row, the manager specifies a value
of 'createAndWait(5)' for the myTtCfgEntryStatus
status variable. This SET request could contain
values of myTtCfgIpAddress and myTtCfgCommunity
but it is not required. More often, the values for
these columnar objects are specified in additional
SET requests. After each SET operation, the
myTtCfgEntryStatus variable takes on the value
'notReady(3)' or 'notInService(2)'. To place the
entry into service, the manager requests that the
myTtCfgEntryStatus variable transition to the
'active(1)' state.
for example:
============
SnmpGet(<myTtCfgTableNextIndex.0>, NULL)
returns
<myTtCfgTableNextIndex.0, 2>
SnmpSet(<myTtCfgEntryStatus.2, createAndWait(5)>)
returns
<myTtCfgEntryStatus.2, notReady(3)>
SnmpSet(<myTtCfgIpAddress.2, 192.158.104.93>,
<myTtCfgCommunity.2, 'public'>)
returns
<myTtCfgIpAddress.2, 192.158.104.93>,
<myTtCfgCommunity.2, 'public'>
SnmpSet(<myTtCfgEntryStatus.2, active(1)>)
returns
<myTtCfgEntryStatus.2, active(1)>
Trap Target Configuration Entry Deletion:
=========================================
To delete an existing trap target configuration
entry, the manager performs a SET operation on the
myTtCfgEntryStatus variable with the value
'destroy(6)'."

Additional Notes:
Using OID directly yields same results
Using Wireshark I see my Linux system response to the getBulkRequest with all the MIBs' info found under the OID
I used -DALL switch in the snmpbulkget command and I see all the MIBs' info found under the OID. Additionally I see Error Status = 5, which explains why I get genError response.

Answer 1

I found my problem. My issue was with the Netsnmp_Node_Handler method I used to register myTtCfgIpAddress OID. I was missing a MODE_GETNEXT & MODE_GETBULK case in CMyMibSubAgent::handle_myTtCfgIpAddress(). Because of this, my switch case defaulted to return SNMP_ERR_GENERR.
Now my recommendation to anyone who comes across this problem, don't solely rely on the SNMP tool response. The snmpbulkget -DALL command told me the problem was with my first OID object (in my case MY-ELEMENT-MIB::myModel.0). However, after using Wireshark, I found that the first few OIDs were returning with valid values, but after it got to my myTtCfgTable, its started having issues. From here I started using snmpgetnext and Wireshark to pinpoint the specific OID that caused the genError. After that, it was just a review of the OID's implementation (and in my case I had to use the debugger to determine the reqinfo->mode I got was MODE_GETNEXT). Hope this explanation helps someone in future.
One more thing, I used Wireshark filter "udp.port==161 || udp.port==162" to only observed SNMP traffic.
