To retrieve voluminous data from a large table, the GETBULK operation is performed. A GETBULK request is performed by giving an OID along with two other parameters, namely a Max-Repetitions value and a Non-Repeaters value. The GETBULK operation is performed only on SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.
To perform this operation, follow the steps 1 and 2 as in SNMP GET and continue with the following step 3 through step 5.
Configure the MibBrowser
to either SNMPv2c or SNMPv3 as desired. This can be done using either
the Edit-->Settings option
in the menu bar or the MibBrowser Settings icon 
on the
toolbar. You can also use the shortcut key combination Alt + S.
Under the same MibBrowser Settings panel, the Max-Repetitions field and the Non-Repeaters field are enabled. The Max-Repetitions value specifies the number of lexicographic successors to be returned for the remaining variables in the variable-bindings list. The default value in this field is 50. The Non-Repeaters value specifies the number of variables in the variable-bindings list for which a single lexicographic successor is to be returned. The default value in this field is 0. Specify the values for these two parameters if you need to and then proceed with the operation.
Click the "Get Bulk
SNMP data" button or icon 
on the toolbar or choose
Operation-->GetBulk from the
menu bar. Alternatively, you can use the shortcut key combination Ctrl
+ B.
This will get a sequence of Next Objects immediately after the specified object. The number of Object instances returned is equal to the Max-Repetitions field.
