snmpget is written to communicate with a single agent at once, and uses an
API that sends a single request and waits for a single reply. The handling
of responses to a broadcast request would have to be handled differently,
waiting to gather responses from multiple agents.
The feature request for this different program is here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/net-snmp/feature-requests/18/
An alternative that teaches snmpget about ranges to query is here:
