 Ignoring the issue on the Linux system, can this behavior suggest that
snmpget is structured to quit after receiving the first response? If, so one
round-about way of doing network discovery would be to create a script that
repeatedly calls snmpget and displays the output accordingly.

I'm not a developer, but I have a feeling that snmpget wasn't designed with
multiple requests in mind. i.e. it was meant to query a single agent and
quit.
