Read the documentation :-)
   (That's not actually intended to be clever. It *is* the only
practical way to tell which SNMP versions a particular agent supports)


If you're talking about the Net-SNMP agent, then this almost
certainly supports all three versions of SNMP.   You just need
to configure the access control correctly.
   See the project FAQ for more details.

With the Net-SNMP agent, then simply set up access control
(See above).

If you are using another vendor's agent, then you would
need to talk to them about what versions it supports,
and how to configure it.
