Hi,

I am trying to snmpget on an object of "Ipv6Address" type from our
application. The response got it from agent look like this,
300200000000000000000000ac123803,
a 16-byte octet string. But the final display shows in ascii string of
every char, separated by colon in the group of 2,  3330:3032:3030:3030:
3030:3030:3030:3030:3030:3030:3030:3030:6163:3132:3338:3033. I expect this
3002:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ac12:3803. What can be wrong? With the
limitation of my application can send only string data in response, what
can be done to correct this ipv6 address display problem?

Thanks for the help.
Bill
