Package org.opennms.protocols.snmp

Class SnmpPduBulk

java.lang.Object

org.opennms.protocols.snmp.SnmpPduPacket

org.opennms.protocols.snmp.SnmpPduBulk

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, SnmpSyntax

public class SnmpPduBulk
extends SnmpPduPacket

This class defines the SNMPv2 GetBulk request sent from the management platform to the agent. The Get Bulk request is designed to minimize the number of message exchanges to get a large amount of information. The Get Bulk works in the same way as multiple Get Next requests would work. It returns a set of lexicograpical successors that are selected. For more information on the use of a GetBulk request see [Stallings99] page 378-383.
