[AGENT++] Error returned in the SNMPV3 PDU

[Shrikanth D]

Hi,
 
I have a doubt about the manner in which the error is returned when a snmpV3 call is made. 
 
Say for example if the manager issues a request to a agent with an incorrect security level, sometimes the error 
 
SNMP_ERROR_AUTH_ERR         16 //!< Authentication failure
 
is returned by the call itself (by the snmp.get() method).
 
But certain other times for the same error, the call is a success, but the PDU type is REPORT_MSG and the error has to be obtained by examining the Oid.
 
Can you please explain what decides this behaviour.
 
Thanks and regards,
Shrikanth
