Name        : net-snmp
Product     : Fedora 16
Version     : 5.7
Release     : 6.fc16
URL         : http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/
Summary     : A collection of SNMP protocol tools and libraries
Description :
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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

- both Net-SNMP daemons snmpd and snmptrapd have been integrated with systemd, i.e. support socket activation (not used in Fedora) and notification
- native systemd unit files are available for these daemons.
- new subpackage net-snmp-sysvinit added, with legacy init scripts
- new subpackage net-snmp-agent-libs added, with libraries needed only for SNMP agent. net-snmp-libs is more lightweight now.
