Thanks, but if I look at the different documentation available there are:
* the standard snmp configuration included in the new version since version
3.9 as I read in some documents (seems to answer only in v1 mode).
Configuration file: /etc/snmp.conf (with creation of the user _snmp)
* the package net-snmp-5.4.1p0.tgz to be added . Configuration file
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
* some port package with all the MIBs to be installed
Are this 3 different methods, is this the same method ?
In which case do I need to activate the rc.conf ?
In which case do I need to modify the rc.local ?
With the new version 4.3, what do i need to configure an snmp agent:
* for snmp v1 ?
* for snmp v3 ?

net-snmp used to be "THE" SNMP agent, it's a direct descendant of
ucd-snmp.
OpenBSD now has it's own agent.
If all you want is OpenBSD related info stick with the integrated snmpd,
if you need to extend what is available via snmp take a look at
net-snmp.
applications provide MIBs so you can gather info using their private
enterprise OIDs. they are usually designed to work with net-snmp.
