I think your syntax is ok, as it's not line 107 that its actually
failing on, it's the two OID lookup(s) on the router - it's not able to
see them via snmpwalk in the script...

The shell script itself is inserting those last two "neighbor" IP
addresses into the snmpwalk call(s) as part of the specific OID's, so it
could definitely be a typo or something - can you try to manually run
snmpwalk against the router to troubleshoot it further? 

Cheers,
