Alternatively, you could define the MIB object to use a SYNTAX type that specifies how to display the results (using a suitable TEXTUAL CONVENTION) For example, DisplayString should always be displayed as a printable string, while PhysAddress would be reported as (colon-separated) hex values. The automatic guessing that Bart refers to above, is really only relevant to the basic OCTET STRING syntax, where there's no hint available as to how the value should be displayed.
