Yes - that exactly the sort of thing that this suite is intended for.
The whole idea of Internet standards such as SNMP is that you can mix
tools and agents from different vendors, and they'll play happily
together like good little children.....
The simplest way to get started is probably to find a suitable binary
distribution and install that. Or else compile and install from source
(./configure ; make ; su ; make install)
But you can ignore the local SNMP agent, and just concentrate on the
command-line tools, e.g. 'snmpget', 'snmpgetnext', 'snmpwalk' and 'snmpset'
