I don't have a list of what does.  In SNMPv3 speak, you need to use
"contexts" to do this.  In SNMPv1 speak, you need to use different
community names.  In net-snmp speak, this is both support and you need
to map SNMPv1 community names to SNMPv3 context names (see the com2sec
man page of a *recent* release)
