Hi Swamy,
There are a few different issues involved in getting an existing UDP/IPv4 SNMP agent to run over IPv6. First, you need to make changes to the part of the agent that sends/receives packets to allow it receive requests and send responses over IPv6. If you want to support SNMPv3 security over an IPv6 transport, you also need to make some changes to your TAddress/TDomain definitions. There is an Internet-Draft available that describes one set of possible changes, and we are working to get that draft (or a modified version of that draft) accepted by the IETF. This work is happening in the OPS area, outside of any WG. It is also likely that you will want to support some IPv6 MIBs for your TCP/IP stack, at least. Those MIBs are under development in the IPv6 WG. They are very similar to the IPv4 versions, except that they include address types that are capable of holding an IPv6 address.
