Are you positive that this is a 16-byte octet string? It's a common agent
bug to return an ASCII printable string, e.g., a 32-byte octet string that
actually contains the bytes 3330303230303030....
One way to tell is to run your snmpget with -Ddump. Look at the
"dumpx_recv" output for the actual bytes of the response.
But the final display shows in ascii string of every char, separated by

I am not sure what you mean by "string data" - if you mean that your agent
can only send the ASCII representation of the value, then you have to
change the MIB so that it doesn't claim that the value is an Ipv6Address.
