I never said to use the '-H' switch for the snmpwalk command. Pay 
attention and type the command exactly as I did, or I'll start ignoring 
you altogether.

snmpwalk --help clearly tells you (at the very top of the output) that 
snmpwalk -H lists understood configuration directives, which is exactly 
what it listed. Omit the -H switch and things should work splendidly.
