command scrolls through OIDs numerically sequential to the initial OID
request. The STEP command scrolls the MIB Walk, one OID at a time.
Cycling allows you to specify how many GETNEXT commands to cycle
through for one OID. The REPEAT command allows you to enter an OID
and repeatedly get and display that OID for monitoring purposes.
