The Tnm library interprets MIB definitions in order to render received
values. If you do not have MIB definitions, you will see the values in
the "native" format. If you MIB definitions and the values still look
strange, then it is possible that the designer of the MIB definition
did not specify the right DISPLAY-HINTs.

The way values are represented does not depend on the tools used to
implement the agent (as long as the agent complies to its MIB
definition).
