>From the man page this is absolutely allowed. There is even an example given, that does exactly the same. <-- snipp --> $sess->bulkwalk(<non-repeaters>, <max-repeaters>, <vars> [,<callback>]) Do a "bulkwalk" of the list of Varbinds. This is done by sending a GETBULK request (see getbulk() above) for the Varbinds. For each requested variable, the response is examined to see if the next lexico instance has left the requested sub-tree. Any further instances returned for this variable are ignored, and the walk for that sub-tree is considered complete. <-- snapp --> The crazy thing is, that when I run the bulkwalk without the "NonIncreasing" key set to 1, I can see in the tethereal capture that all OIDs get fully processed. But as described in my first mail to the ML, there are responded OIDs missing in the result array from bulkwalk. So I think the internal code in net-snmp perl API is correct as long as it only coveres retrieving the data from the agent. But when this data is prepared to be passed back to perl, there is a problem.
