SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for network management. The NET-SNMP project includes various SNMP tools: an extensible agent, an SNMP library, tools for requesting or setting information from SNMP agents, tools for generating and handling SNMP traps, a version of the netstat command which uses SNMP, and a Tk/Perl mib browser. This package contains the snmpd and snmptrapd daemons, documentation, etc. You will probably also want to install the net-snmp-utils package, which contains NET-SNMP utilities.
The net-snmp-agent-libs package contains the runtime agent libraries for shared binaries and applications.
The net-snmp-libs package contains the runtime client libraries for shared binaries and applications.
The net-snmp-perl package contains the perl files to use SNMP from within Perl. Install the net-snmp-perl package, if you want to use mib2c or SNMP with perl.
The 'netsnmp' module provides a full featured, tri-lingual SNMP (SNMPv3, SNMPv2c, SNMPv1) client API. The 'netsnmp' module internals rely on the Net-SNMP toolkit library.
