#
# This is an example of using the 'bulkwalk' functionality of the SNMP::Multi
# module.  This script queries the hosts 'router1.my.com' and 'router2.my.com'
# for the sysUpTime.0 and sysContact.0 non-repeater variables, as well as the
# 'ifInOctets' and 'ifOutOctets' subtree on each host.
#
# Remember that GETBULK works like GETNEXT -- if you want the first instance
# of a tag (i.e. 'sysUpTime.0'), you must ask for the preceeding tag (the
# branch 'sysUpTime', in this case).
#
# Note that the response contains one SNMP::VarList for each requested Varbind.

# Build a VarReq for the hosts we wish to query.  This request asks for
# the sysUpTime.0 and sysContact.0 vars, as well as a list of the in and
# out octet counts for every interface.  The request is the same for both
# hosts.
