You can not access MIB-2 variables by querying a Scotty agent. The
Scotty SNMP agent is not meant to replace a standard MIB-2 agent. The
basic idea is to use Scotty as an additional, programmable agent. For
this purpose, you can either run Scotty on a different port or (if
supported by your standard agent) in a native proxy relationship.
