I haven't checked the code, but it should be possible to use the 'string'
type to return a binary string value, as well as regular ASCII strings.

Try it.

Try querying the agent for an existing table object that shows such
an IPv6 address, and use the '-d' flag to dump the raw packets.
That will show how IPv6 addresses are represented.

Or see the description in the INET-ADDRESS-MIB
