The plugins argument parser uses a comma as a token to separate multiple 
oids.  However the underlying command "snmpget" or "snmpgetnext" requires 
the oids to be separated by a space not a comma. So if you run command 
under verbose mode, you will see the command being generated with spaces.

The plugin will print out the text values of both the oids as they were 
returned.


which version of the plugin are you using?
