Snmpwalk works fine

# snmpwalk -On -v 3 -l authPriv -u ro -a SHA -A '' -x AES -X '' 192.168.99.211 .1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.19.1.1.3 .1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.19.1.1.3.3.49.58.56.1008 = INTEGER: 1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.19.1.1.3.3.49.58.56.2008 = INTEGER: 2 .1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.19.1.1.3.4.49.58.50.51.1023 = INTEGER: 2 .1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.19.1.1.3.4.49.58.50.51.2023 = INTEGER: 2 .1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.19.1.1.3.4.49.58.52.48.1040 = INTEGER: 1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.19.1.1.3.4.49.58.52.48.2040 = INTEGER: 1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.19.1.1.3.4.49.58.52.49.1041 = INTEGER: 1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.19.1.1.3.4.49.58.52.49.2041 = INTEGER: 1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.19.1.1.3.4.49.58.52.50.1042 = INTEGER: 1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.19.1.1.3.4.49.58.52.50.2042 = INTEGER: 1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.19.1.1.3.4.49.58.52.53.1045 = INTEGER: 1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.19.1.1.3.4.49.58.52.53.2045 = INTEGER: 1

Snmpget does not (note it's one of the exact same OID from above)

# snmpget -On -v 3 -l authPriv -u ro -a SHA -A '' -x AES -X '' 192.168.99.211 .1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.19.1.1.3.4.49.58.52.53.2045 .1.3.6.1.4.1.1916.1.19.1.1.3.4.49.58.52.53.2045 = No Such Instance currently exists at this OID

Why could this be?

The discrepancy between `snmpwalk` working and `snmpget` failing on the same OID likely stems from `snmpget` requiring the full, explicit instance identifier present in the `snmpwalk` output. Ensure you are using the exact, complete OID from `snmpwalk` in your `snmpget` command. Other less likely causes include typos, transient data, or rare SNMP agent behavior. Try using `snmpgetnext` on a parent OID to investigate further and check the SNMP agent's documentation or logs if available.

Can you elaborate what exactly you mean? I've posted the output, so we see there is no typo.
