First, make sure you agent is SNMPv2c and not SNMPv1. (There is no
getbulk operation in SNMPv1 and scotty will map the getbulk to a
getnext operation in this case.) Second, even if you have an SNMPv2c
agent, there is no guarantee that the agent will actually do
repetitions (see RFC 1905). This is why it is perfectly legal to map a
getbulk to a getnext on a SNMPv1 session.

Read about the walk command in the snmp(n) man page.
