Arun,
Hi, good day to you.
With regards to compatibility, "yes", DNF (64 bit) is auto-selected if the underlying OS is AIX 7.3, otherwise you get the 32 bit version.
As for how to set up DNF and the associated Repos when your system(s) do not have direct access to the Internet, I suggest reading through this thread https://community.ibm.com/community/user/question/installed-dnf-to-nim-created-repository-how-to-install-packages-to-other-servers#f1339d43-5fce-449c-bffe-0194fae206e5 as that should help answer your queries/questions.
Many thanks, Steve

Arun,
Hi, good day to you.
The simplest way to resolve this is to get DNF installed (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-toolbox-open-source-software-get-started), first, and then run "dnf install net-snmp net-snmp-utils" which will bring in all the necessary dependencies for you, automatically.
All the best, Steve
