That's unusual, but sort-of-reasonable.
If the box doesn't implement this particular MIB object, then
that would be the correct response.

Quite possible.

Basically, yes.
tcpdump shows what is actually going over the network.
The -d option shows what the SNMP application is sending
and/or receiving.   These ought to be the same (unless
something *very* strange is happening!)

That's normal.

That's not.
The agent ought to to return *something* - even if it's
just another 'noSuchName' error.


Can you try running tcpdump while you issue the 'ap-mrtg'
command, and see exactly what this is sending?
If you issue the exact same "snmpget" request, this
should return the information you require, even if
snmpwalk et al don't.
