The character sequence "0x0A0A640A" does not represent a legal OCTET
STRING value. See the snmp(n) manual page which explains the various
value formats accepted by scotty. The value string "0A:0A:64:0A"
should work better.

(And if the definition of pwVcPeerIpv4Addr uses the IpAddress syntax,
then even "10.10.100.10" should work due to the DISPLAY-HINT clause).
