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.

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.
