The basic protocol is essentially the same as SNMPv2 - the administrative framework that surrounds SNMPv3 is significantly different. The Net-SNMP library supports all three versions of the protocol, so all tools built using that library would tend to support all three versions too. Note that there are a few unexpected characteristics associated with SNMPv3 notifications Have a look at the tutorial pages on the project web pages for details. > Can i use snmpget v2 with snmpv3 daemons? > I probably need to specify v3 right. If you've got an SNMP agent that is SNMPv3-*only*, then you would need to use "snmpget -v3" (or equivalent). But most SNMPv3-agents are in fact tri-lingual, and would understand SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 requests. You should be able to use whichever version is appropriate for your needs.
