info needed on snmpbulkget with agentx

Hello all

While  performing a snmpbulkget on nstAgentSubagentObject, which is provided
as part of the agentx tutorial i get the below output

*snmpbulkget -v2c -c public localhost
NET-SNMP-TUTORIAL-MIB::nstAgentSubagentObject*
*NET-SNMP-TUTORIAL-MIB::nstAgentSubagentObject.0 = INTEGER: 3*
*SNMPv2-MIB::snmpSetSerialNo.0 = INTEGER: 1916485437*
*SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB::snmpEngineID.0 = Hex-STRING: 80 00 1F 88 80 1A AB 10 0C
87 E9 51 4E *
*SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB::snmpEngineBoots.0 = INTEGER: 3*
*SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB::snmpEngineTime.0 = INTEGER: 977 seconds*
*SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB::snmpEngineMaxMessageSize.0 = INTEGER: 1500*
*SNMP-MPD-MIB::snmpUnknownSecurityModels.0 = Counter32: 0*
*SNMP-MPD-MIB::snmpInvalidMsgs.0 = Counter32: 0*
*SNMP-MPD-MIB::snmpUnknownPDUHandlers.0 = Counter32: 0*
*SNMP-TARGET-MIB::snmpTargetSpinLock.0 = INTEGER: 0*




   - Why is the output having information for MIB objects which we did not
   ask for.
   - Whenever we are using  the snmpbulkget , the agentx receives the PDU
   type as "6" which is getnext. But the getBulk PDU in agentx  is 7. I read in
   an earlier mail archive with subject "snmp extension agent" as below

                                          If you're working with AgentX,
then a GETBULK request may either be
                                          passed through as-is (including
non-repeaters and max-repetitions), or
                                          else converted into a sequence of
GETNEXT requests.
                                          If you're working with SMUX, then
this pre-dates SNMPv2, so only
                                          supports GETNEXT.  A GETBULK
request will be converted into a sequence
                                         of GETNEXTs by the master agent.




           We wanted to test the getBulk part in  the agentx implementation.
How to do that ?

Thanks & Regards
