The SNMP protocol will encode BITS as an octet string. Your probe can
interpret the BITS value as a string, displayed in hexadecimal using the
HEXIDECIMAL type. You will have to use a CALCULATION expression to pick
apart the BITS using substr().
There is an enhancement request already in our system to interpret the
bits fields based on the compiled MIB and display it automatically (RT#
61159). I will add a +1 to that ER for you.
