No. The year 2038 problem occurs with 32 bit integers which count
seconds and start in 1970. SNMP uses a 32 bit timestamp, but it is referenced
only from when the engine is booted, so v1 and v2c engines do not suffer from
the year 2038 problem, but must be rebooted at least once every 68 years.
SNMPv3 introduced a 31 bit engine boot counter which extends the potential
uptime without reboot significantly. Yes, sad to say, SNMPv3 suffers from the
year 146,135,513,385 problem. Will we ever learn?
