Hi Frank,
I used the snmp4j-agent-1.1.2.zip code to reproduce this issue.
OID which i gave is 1.3.6.1.6.3.12.1.2.1.10
Response from the test agent is
***** SNMP PROMPT FOR OID-RESPONSE START *****
1: snmpTargetAddrEntry.10 (nosuchinstance) no such instance
***** SNMP PROMPT FOR OID-RESPONSE END *****

Hi Nidhin,
When I run a GET request with that OID on the TestAgent
noSuchObject is returned. Can you provide an OID that
reproduces the problem with the TestAgent?
Thanks in advance,
Frank
