Good - that seems to be a change from earlier.

What happens if you try to query your extension now?

That's expected.

Correct.
*All* MIB OIDs returned from an SNMP agent will
always have some form of "instance sub-identifier".
This will be the index values for table objects,
and .0 for scalars.


Now that the agent is returning information from
the IP-MIB, it's worth trying your extension MIB again.
