I had said before I was very green re: this topic and this is epitomizes my experience. After alot of reading I discovered the script I was using to parse through the MIB entries and retrieve values was written using bulkwalk, and I tried it using both v1 and v3. And in addition, it did not work because bulk operations do not work when using v1. I'd have to rewrite our subroutine to replicate bulk functionality when using v1.

I hope other newbies figure this out sooner than I did.
