The '-IR' flag toggles "random lookup" of MIB object names. With this enabled, you can give an arbitrary object name (such as 'system') and the SNMP tools will look for it across all loaded MIB modules. With this disabled, you need to give an absolute name - either fully qualified (.iso.org.....system) or specifying the relevant MIB module (SNMPv2-MIB::system) All the Net-SNMP tools work in this way. The confusing thing is that the default for 'snmptranslate' (random lookup off) is different to everything else (random lookup on).
