net-snmp

brew install net-snmp v5.9.5.2 MIT-CMU AND MIT AND BSD-3-Clause keg-only

SNMP v1/v2c/v3 agent and command-line client library for network monitoring over IPv4 and IPv6.

Why you might care

Net-SNMP is the de facto open-source SNMP toolkit, used by monitoring systems (Nagios, Zabbix) and network devices to query and manage remote systems. Provides snmpget, snmpwalk, and snmptrap utilities plus a shared C library for custom SNMP applications. Keg-only because macOS ships its own SNMP tools, but this version offers broader MIB support and newer protocol compliance.
