That doesn't make sense.
You must *always* provide at least one OID in a GETNEXT request.

You *can* use gauge-based MIB objects as a table index
  (though this is relatively unusual - I can't think offhand
   of any such example).

It's only Counters that cannot be used as indexes.
  (since with counters it is the *difference* between
  values that's important)

No.

See RFC 2576

In general, most SNMPv2 requests are also valid under SNMPv1.
The major differences are the introduction of the GetBulk request
(which didn't exist in SNMPv1), and the use of exceptions to
allow "partially successful" GET* requests.
