Sorry - I don't understand the question.
You'd retrieve a BITS-syntax value in just the same way
as any other MIB value - by issuing a "snmpget" or similar
request.

A MIB module implementation would return a BITS-syntax
value in exactly the same way as it would for an
OCTET STRING value.

If that's not what you meant, then you'll need to be
a bit more explicit.

I explained that:

0x9020 is the hex equivalent of this bit string.

No - I'm saying that it's not an integer value, so reversing
the order simply isn't relevant!
