Description:
------------
I read via PHP function snmp2_real_walk OID value '.1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.1' for get MAC address from Cisco switch device. Problem is, that some results (randomly around the 50 results of the 200) return bad characters (yet I have found a mistake if I read only MAC addresses). Ie.:

correct output examples:
 [Dot1dTpFdbAddres] => 30 05 5C 38 A7 8C
 [Dot1dTpFdbAddres] => C0 7B BC 0E 56 18

wrong output examples - device return randomly none-hex value for hex values, ie.:
[iso.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.1.92.38.10.129.123.27] => Hex-STRING: 5C 26 0A 81 7B 1B 
[iso.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.1.120.69.196.42.25.241] => Hex-STRING: 78 45 C4 2A 19 F1 
[iso.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.1.120.69.196.42.27.169] => Hex-STRING: 78 45 C4 2A 1B A9 
[iso.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.1.120.69.196.42.34.45] => STRING: "xE�*\"-"
[iso.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.1.120.172.192.142.199.214] => STRING: "x�����"
[iso.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.1.124.30.179.254.9.201] => Hex-STRING: 7C 1E B3 FE 09 C9 

If I try read OID '.1.3.6.1.2.1.17.4.3.1.1' from program Getif, I have got correct results.

The tested solution that fails:
 PHP - Chnaged snmp2_real_walk by snmprealwalk
 Changed encoding of files (UTF8, ANSI)
 SNMP longer timeout and try add PHP sleep() function
 PHP directive: snmp_set_oid_numeric_print(1)
 PHP directive: snmp_set_quick_print(true)
 PHP directive: snmp_set_enum_print(true)
 PHP directive: snmp_set_valueretrieval(SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY and SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN)

Resolution - add new parameter for:
 snmprealwalk
 snmp2_real_walk
for forced return Hex-STRING result.

Test script:
---------------
$arrDot1dTpFdbAddress = snmprealwalk("SomeIp:161", "ReadCommunity", ".1.3.6.1.2.1.3.1.1.2", (1000000 * 1), 3);
        
    echo '<pre>';
    print_r($arrDot1dTpFdbAddress);
    echo '</pre>';

Do you have MIB file loaded for this OID subtree on script launch? As far as I can see from your output, SNMP library does not know exact type of HEX string that is being returned by the agent so it does it's best.

So you have two possible approaches for this:
  1) use SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN. That will return all strings in that subtree as binary strings so you can handle them properly in PHP (see bin2hex());
  2) load MIB so SNMP library will know how to handle those strings.

There is no real reason to pull this conversion into php-snmp library.
