You could also use bullfreeware.com, which compiles a .zip file with all the dependencies (don't forget to select the appropriate OS level), for example: http://www.bullfreeware.com/pkg?id=6479 Also, http://www.oss4aix.org/download/RPMS/ has a similar solution, as well, but here some of the dependencies are just lists inside a text file, as in you need to search and download them separately.
In any case, seeing the sheer list of dependencies, I also think that yum would be your best choice. Or use the bullfreeware zip on some test LPAR to see how it goes.

You can download all these rpms, put it inside a directory and run " rpm -ivh * "
If you have some rpms already installed in the machine, then run " rpm -Uvh --force * "

But how can I configure yum to install packages without getting access to AIX Toolbox, because it is not allowed to have access with internet, I need to download the required packages and then install it.
thanks.

Samba for AIX is provided through AIX Toolbox ( in rpm format ) in the recent years.
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-toolbox-linux-applications-downloads-alpha
I would recommend to use yum to install samba as it has numerous other dependencies.

Hello
I would like to install samba on AIX, and as mentioned in the following link
https://developer.ibm.com/technologies/systems/articles/au-aix_samba/
there are three packages should be installed
- Samba.base
- Samba.license S
- Samba.man
The samba packages are found on https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/883796?_ga=2.206565329.35408613.1604315651-1232417942.1604315651
I don't know which packages I have to choose to start installation, I tried to install the package " 'Server and Client software to interoperate with Windows machines' but it failed unfortunately due to dependencies.
Appreciate your assistance.
