Thanks for the information .... I will play around with these options.
What are default number of retries performed by snmpget if the -r option is not
used?
What is the default timeout period by snmpget is the -t option is not used?

No, there is no retry functionality in the master agent.
On the other hand there is a retry functionality in snmpget, so if
snmpget get no answer before a timeout it will retry a couple of times.
Check the -r and -t option to snmpget and toy about with those in
combination with the -d option so that you can see the packages that are
sent and received.
