Look for display hints in, for example, the TC MIB here:

Subject: Are MIB files also used for converting SNMP GetResponse *values*?

Hi,

I am aware that MIB files in NMS are used to translate OID integers in SNMP 
GetResponse messages into meaningful names. For example here I can see that 
string "Vl290" is an VLAN-interface name:

$ snmpget -Of -v 2c -c public 10.10.10.1 .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1.290
.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.ifMIB.ifMIBObjects.ifXTable.ifXEntry.ifName.290
= STRING: Vl290
$


Without Cisco MIBs I would see:

$ snmpget -m /dev/null -Of -v 2c -c public 10.10.10.1
.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1.290
.iso.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1.290 = STRING: "Vl290"
$


However, are MIB files also used for converting SNMP GetResponse values? I mean 
for example "snmpwalk -Ov -v 2c -c public 10.10.10.1 sysUpTimeInstance" returns 
"Timeticks: (88920401) 10 days, 7:00:04.01", but this conversion is done in 
snmpget/snmpwalk utility itself. For example is it possible to define in MIB 
files that for example 1099 integer32 value in SNMP GetResponse message should 
be understood as 10cm and 99mm and then snmpget/snmpwalk utility will do such 
conversions automatically? I tried to find such SNMP objects, but did not find 
any.


thanks,
Martin
