[SNMP4J] Response to a GETBULK request

[Kulkarni, Aditya (Aditya)]

Hi Mark,

Thank you. I am now able to get the required GetBulk response after
setting the max-repetitions and the non-repeaters.

The GetBulk operation differs from the GetNext operation.  GetBulk
requires two additional parameters- non-repeaters and max-repetitions.
 See the http://www.snmp4j.org/doc/org/snmp4j/PDU.html javadoc page for
the setMaxRepetiions and setNonRepeaters methods.

It appears that in the absence of being set to an explicit value,
non-repeaters and max-repetiions each have a value of zero, resulting in
response mentioned.

Let the list know how setting these parameters works out for you?
