[SNMP4J] ipAdEntAddr not being sent from agent to management software

[Frank Fock]

Hi Jeff,

 From your description it seems to be rather a bug/problem
with the management software than with the agent.
The agent does not "parse OID strings". On the wire,
there are always OIDs in the numerical dotted format
(BER encoded).

Best regards,
Frank
