Help - I need to get the snmp manager running on my AIX box, os ver =
5.3 and I have to be able to use the command snmpwalk to get the data
from the devices I need to monitor. I cannot figure out what package
to install to be able to use that specific command, though I will
admit this is the first time I have ever tried to setup SNMP.
Can someone shed some light on this?

See snmpv3_ssw(1) - Switch the symbolic links among the non-encrypted snmpdv3 agent, encrypted snmpdv3 agent and snmpdv1 agent.

You won't need to remove the symlink, this tool would do it for ya.
