Yes.
Remember that "snmpwalk" is really just a sequence of GETNEXT
requests. It doesn't know how many results to expect, so keep
going until it receives an irrelevant response.
So walking IntegerDemoValue (presumably a scalar object),
will involve:
GETNEXT *.10.1 --->
<--- RESPONSE *.10.1.0
GETNEXT *.10.1.0 --->
<--- RESPONSE *.10.20.1.x.y.z
The snmpwalk command receives this second result, recognises
that it's not relevant to the subtree it was asked to retrieve,
and exits (*without* displaying this final value).
If you run "snmpwalk -d" on any part of the agent,
you'll see that it *always* ends up by making one final
request that isn't actually displayed.
