Hello together,

I have one question regarding SNMP dissection in new Wireshark versions (0.99.7 and 0.99.8).

If I use 0.99.6a then the SNMP items will be represented as normal Strings:

................
Item
name: 1.3.6.1.4.1.231.7.99.47.1000.99.2.1.8.0 (SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.231.7.99.47.1000.99.2.1.8.0)
                   valueType: value (0)
                       value: simple (4294967295)
                           simple: string-value (1)
Value: STRING: "OEM:hferefa03:NIC failure detected on fjgi5 of group core"
.................

In the newer versions I can see only OctetStrings:

.................
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.231.7.99.47.1000.99.2.1.8.0 (1.3.6.1.4.1.231.7.99.47.1000.99.2.1.8.0): 4F454D3A6866657265666130333A4E4943206661696C7572... Object Name: 1.3.6.1.4.1.231.7.99.47.1000.99.2.1.8.0 (SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.231.7.99.47.1000.99.2.1.8.0) Value (OctetString): 4F454D3A6866657265666130333A4E4943206661696C7572...
.................

Do anyone know how this issue can be resolved. Help will be very appreciated.

Best regards,
