Hello Dave, I am going to use SNMPBULKGET only. So, just to have a good understanding - in this case I will get no benefits comparing to regular SNMPGET, is this correct ?
With SNMPGET or SNMPBULKGET I request for specific OID and in my understanding I will always get singe value (eg. ifAdminStatus.1). I wont use SNMPWALK and SNMPGULKWALK.
