If a given registration explicitly specifies that it can handle GETBULK requests, then they will be passed down to the low-level handler. Otherwise they will be automatically converted into a sequence of GETNEXT requests. This is part of the new(-ish) v5 MIB API. The earlier v4 processing enforced GETBULK->GETNEXT mapping automatically. In principle, the AgentX protocol can handle GETBULK requests, so these *ought* to be passed through to the subagent (which can then make this decision for each registration). But in practise, it looks as if the AgentX communications still uses the v4-style model, so will convert GETBULK into GETNEXT requests before passing them off to the subagent. I'll log this as a feature request/enhancement. Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems?
