The design of the Net-SNMP command-line tools has been the same for many many years - they have *always* displayed the name of the underlying type, rather than Textual Conventions, for all MIB objects. For example, if you walk the 'system' group, then values such as sysName.0 or sysContact.0 will be tagged as STRINGs (the basic type) rather than "DisplayString"s (the TC given as the syntax). I don't think it's realistic to change this behaviour now. Not to mention the problem that you'd see a different type displayed depending on whether the MIB files were loaded or not. Remember that the underlying protocol doesn't know anything about MIB files or Textual Conventions. It *only* knows about the built-in SNMP types. And the simple command-level tools that we provide reflect that. If you are wanting a more informative report, you should probably be looking at writing a dedicated client application, specific to your needs.
