Likely there is a conflict between the MIBs of the snmp daemon and the MIBs used by Oracle.
The snmp daemon get's defined in /etc/'snmp.conf, Oracle provides a demo mib file (which has mib in it's name) somewhere in $ORACLE_HOME/network/agent.
IIRC there is also a separate doc outlining the integration of Oracle snmp and server snmp.
