A return code of 1 means that the application was unable to send the request (for some reason or other). A return code of 2 means that the application *was* able to send the request, and the response indicated an error. So 1 equates to "the client said No" and 2 equates to "the agent said No" In the first case you describe, the snmpget command recognises that the request is invalid so never actually contacts the agent at all. (Hence no packet dump is displayed). In the second case, the snmpget command doesn't spot the problem (because it doesn't have the MIB information), so it's the agent that reports the problem - resulting in an error code of 2. You'd probably get the same effect if you loaded the MIB files, but used the option "-Ir" to disable the ranges checks. (But I haven't tested this) Does that help make things clearer?
