Hi All,

Why output of few mib-object of data-type string are enclosed in quote and
few are not
Eg:
IF-MIB::ifName.5 = STRING: eth2                <----- No quotes
RFC1213-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: "pushpat-ThinkPad-L480"      <----- Quotes

Wireshark shows that quotes are added at snmp-agent side i.e not by
snmp-manager
I would like to know whether we are allowed  change code to remove quotes?
Any specific reason for adding quotes ?

Thank you,
Pushpa.T
