3.2.6.2. Resolution of References across MIB Versions

The object instance referred to by any SNMP operation is exactly that specified as part of the operation request or (in the case of a get- next operation) its immediate successor in the MIB as a whole. In particular, a reference to an object as part of some version of the Internet-standard MIB does not resolve to any object that is not part of said version of the Internet-standard MIB, except in the case that the requested operation is get-next and the specified object name is lexicographically last among the names of all objects presented as part of said version of the Internet-Standard MIB.
