Hi Dave,
Thanks for the reply. But the line I added "override sysObjectID.0 object_id
1.3.6.1.4.1.13699.10" to the /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf file is a
directive based on what I read from the
SETTING SYSTEM INFORMATION section of the man pages of snmpd.conf.

I added the following line to /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf file to
override the default value for sysObjectId.0, so that the agent will
return an oid that identifies our own device:
Why not use the configure directive that's specifically provided
for this purpose?
$ man snmpd.conf
:
SETTING SYSTEM INFORMATION
sysdescr STRING
sysobjectid OID
Sets the system description or object ID for the agent.
Although these values are not SNMP-writable, it is conceivable
that a network administrator may wish to configure them to some-
thing other than the default values.
