Your index of the table is an OCTET STRING without implied length.
Thus you have to specifiy the length of your string.
Another point is that the first column is read-only, so you only
can write the second column. BTW, it is recommended to make
the index columns not-accessible, in order to avoid redundancy.

So a valid SET command will be:

snmpset -v 2 localhost public .1.3.6.1.4.1.9999.2.1.2.3.65.65.65 s "entry1"

where 3 is the length of the index string and AAA is the index string.
(The value of column 1).
