Slight feeling that this may be a trick question!

Answer: rsvp or unknown depending on your implementation.

          defined as follows:

         other(1) - This is used when an entity which has not
          been enumerated in this textual convention but
          which is known by the agent.

         snmp(2) - The Simple Network Management Protocol was
          used to configure this object initially.

          configure this object initially.

          component created the object."
