That's because you are querying the Net-SNMP agent, not Sun's agent.

That is correct - the Net-SNMP agent does not implement
Sun's vendor-specific information.

Because you are now talking to Sun's agent.
Which includes the Sun vendor-specific information.

Yes - they are two completely different agents, written by two completely
different groups of people.

Please see the file 'README.solaris', which includes information
about running the two agents together.

Wrong.
The Sun-specific vendor extensions are *only* implemented by Sun's agent.
The Net-SNMP agent simply does not include the code needed to return
this information.   Our agent returns  various standard MIB information, plus
our own vendor-specific extensions.  We do not attempt to re-implement
other vendor-specific MIB objects.
