I suggest you take a look at:

• the AIX Manuals for snmp commands
• Use google.com to find the IBM Redbooks in this area "redbook snmp aix"
• Use google.com to fine other "AIX snmp" refernece - many of them look interesting

I hope you can find what you need.
I don't know any snmp experts these days, most people and tools, these days, use an agent on each server to supply more data and in a format they prefer. SNMP is the lowest common denominator for when you can do this.

Go thru this site o how to configure snmp and also search how to create user for snmp in IBM web infocenter. The
info given in this site, should be enough for u to configure snmp. Try to use 3rd party tools , to capture the output of
snmp
