Common OIDs are standardized in MIB2, afaik.
Have a look here: http://www.et.put.poznan.pl/snmp/mib2/mib2.html
There are also RFC's covering the topic.

What do you mean by "own OID"? I humbly and well-meaningly suggest
reading some documentation on SNMP, MIBs (especially MIB2) and OIDs.

could it be, that your host 121.XXX.XX.11 doesn't allow nagios to query
it on protocol UDP port 161. (Maybe a firewall is enabled.)
Is the snmp-server running? Is the community-string set right.
If you stick with the example and your firewall doesn't get in your way,
queries should work.
Hth,
