Yup - which is represented in SNMP as a 4-element OCTET STRING. > But, when setting an Address like this 41.41.41.41, the result is a little > bit strange: > ... = STRING: "))))" > > From my point of view, the second IP-Adress is a valid address. This is still a 4-element OCTET STRING, but it just so happens that all four octets correspond to printable characters. So the "snmpget" command is guessing how to display it, and guessing wrong. It thinks it's an ASCII string, rather than a Hex string, or (better) a dotted quad. Try running "snmpget -Ox ...." > Actually i'm using net-snmp v5.1.2.

If the MIB file is defined suitably, I would expect that the tools should display this properly already.
