For the table and row OBJECT-TYPE construct the ACCESS value should be 'not-accessible'. or The access should contain one of these values : SMIv1/v2 access values.

Here access is ACCESS/MAX-ACCESS for SMIv1 and SMIv2 respectively.

SMIv1 access values:

not-accessible","read-only","read-write","write-only"

SMIv2 access values:

"not-accessible","read-only","read-write","write-only","read-create"  accessible-for-notify",  not-implemented"

For example,

ifTable OBJECT-TYPE

SYNTAX  SEQUENCE OF IfEntry

ACCESS accessible

STATUS  mandatory

DESCRIPTION

"description"

::= { interfaces 2 }

Here the ACCESS value is accessible, for the table node.  

The 'INDEX' or 'AUGMENTS' keyword was missing in the table row object type construct which contains the sequence as {sequenceName}

For example,

ifEntry OBJECT-TYPE

SYNTAX  IfEntry

ACCESS  not-accessible

STATUS  mandatory

DESCRIPTION

"An interface entry containing objects at the subnetwork layer and below for a particular interface."

::= { ifTable 1 }

This exception is thrown because here the field "INDEX   { ifIndex } " is missing.

The 'INDEX' or 'AUGMENTS' keyword was missing in the table row object type construct which contains the sequence as IfEntry.

Couldn't resolve these TC constructs :

{TCObject, nodeObject ...}

These nodes might not be defined in the MIB or in the imported MIB module and therefore the corresponding TC or nodeObject could not be resolved throwing this exception.

Couldn't resolve these sequence constructs :

{sequenceName}

For example,

ifTable OBJECT-TYPE

SYNTAX  SEQUENCE OF IfEntry

ACCESS  not-accessible

STATUS  mandatory

DESCRIPTION "description"

::= { interfaces 2 }

ifEntry OBJECT-TYPE

SYNTAX  Iftry

ACCESS  not-accessible

STATUS  mandatory

DESCRIPTION "description."

INDEX   { ifIndex }

::= { ifTable 1 } 

Ifntry ::= SEQUENCE {

Here in the entry node ifEntry, the sequence name is mistyped as Iftry. This exception is thrown because there is no SEQUENCE by the name Iftry. Also the sequence name may not be the one that is defined in the syntax of ifTable.

Cyclic TC keyValue encountered in moduleName.

TCString1 ::= TCString2

TCString2 ::= TCString1

Here the TCString syntax is TCString2 whose syntax is TCString1. It gets into an indefinite loop throwing the CyclicTC exception.

Was expecting a ModuleName and that should be in upper case or atleast in proper case

This exception is thrown if the module name starts with a lower case letter or contains a special character other than hyphen. 

Encountered a reserved word reservedWord

For example,

Integer32 ::= INTEGER 

Here Integer32 is being used as a label for defining the TC. This exception is thrown because Integer32 is a reserved word.

If you do not wish to treat Integer32 as a reserved word, you have to use the method addLabel(String label) of the MibOperations class before loading the MIB. 

subOID value should not exceed 4294967295

This exception is thrown if the subOID value exceeds the maximum value 4294967295.
