The normal way of traversing a table (as used by "snmpwalk") is to send a series of GETNEXT requests. snmptable will attempt to use the GETBULK request instead, to cut down on the number of queries that need to be sent. But if you've got a broken agent (or broken MIB implementation), that doesn't understand the GETBULK request, then this will fail. So the -CB flag turns off this optimisation, and sends a series of GETNEXT requests instead - just as "snmpwalk" does. See any book on SNMP for more information about the basic protocol operations.
