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.
