Thanks, guys. :)

I see my mistake.  I had the host IP listed twice.

$ARG1$ = <ip host>
$ARG2$ = <com string ro>
$ARG3$ = ifOperStatus.1
$ARG4$ = 1:1

Your command_line therefor looks like

/path/to/plugins/check_snmp -H <address from host definition> -C <ip
host> -o <com string ro> -c ifOperStatus.1

Looks different.
