What MIB object(s) are you retrieving?
What are the MIB definitions for those objects?

You say that you are receiving IP addresses in hex *and* decimal formal.
Does that mean you are getting two results for each query?
Or that sometimes the values are in hex, and other times they are in decimal?
Or what?
   This description is a bit unclear - some actual results would be useful.


Remember that you can always force string results to be displayed in
ascii or hex, by using the appropriate output command-line options.

    OUTPUT OPTIONS

       -Oa    Display string values as ASCII strings (unless there is  a  DIS-
              PLAY-HINT   defined  for  the  corresponding  MIB  object).   By
              default, the library attempts to determine whether the value  is
              a printable or binary string, and displays it accordingly.

              This option does not affect objects that do have a Display Hint.

       -Ox    Display string values as Hex strings (unless there is a DISPLAY-
