Using MIBinsight › Reformat Octet String Object Values

Reformat Octet String Object Values

MIB objects with octet string syntax can contain a value that could represent anything, such as a network address, a string of bit flags, or some text. The MIBinsight browser tries to determine if the octet string value is text and, if so, to display it as text. However, you can choose to override the formatting of an octet string as follows:

• To display the value as an octet (the default), in the format xx:xx:xx:xx, enter O beside the object.
• To display the value as binary (for example, 100111000110), enter B beside the object.
• To display the value as readable text, enter X beside the object.
