.1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.13.1.2.1.1 is the trapDestination table.  It's part of
the HP proprietary MIB.  (The "11" in the .1.3.6.1.4.1.11... indicates
it's part of HP's MIB.)

Looks to me like the attempt to add 129.60.57.9 or 192.65.17.91 to the
table has failed.  Perhaps this device doesn't accept set requests to
the table.  The table is, afterall, defined to be read-only.

My question is, what is a Cisco router doing with an HP proprietary MIB
object?
