OID format and MIB

Hello all,

I tried to search the Internet for my answer but I don't seem to find it.

At my company we have an appliance that for some OIDs it doesn't return an
integer calue that can be processed and graphed but a string that looks
like the following



.1.3.6.1.3456.c.f.r.t.h.y.j.uu.i.w. : STRING ::This OID gives the height of
the cake in the owen = 5.45

Where the value of te OID is "This OID gives the height of the cake in the
owen = 5.45"

The vendor of the appliance doesn't release any MIB and from my
understanding the way to provide a human exclamation is right returning a
self-explanatory-string AND the value.

As far as I know MIBs can only serve to describe the OIDs' structure.

Now the quite-a-newbie-question: can a MIB be used to describe the format
of the OID's value?

I don't think so and I'd like to hear the opinon from somebody who knows
SNMP much better.

Because the SNMP poller we use cannot parse such returned value.

Thanks in advance,

Alex
