If you're working with AgentX, then a GETBULK request may either be passed through as-is (including non-repeaters and max-repetitions), or else converted into a sequence of GETNEXT requests. If you're working with SMUX, then this pre-dates SNMPv2, so only supports GETNEXT. A GETBULK request will be converted into a sequence of GETNEXTs by the master agent. But if you're working with the Net-SNMP platform, all of this is handled for you by the agent code. You should be able to concentrate on the individual MIB modules, which typically only ever see GET requests.
