No - it works with any type of MIB object.

If you look closely at the error message, you'll see that the agent
*is* returning a string value, but the client (snmpget) is expecting
an INTEGER.   Though I don't know why!

In fact, the correct response to the GET request you're giving
should actually be "noSuchName" (v1) or "noSuchInstance (v2).
I'm not sure why it's returning a value instead.

What does
   snmpget -v1 -c private localhost netSnmpExampleString.0
          report?
