Hello,

You could use some third party repos, like rpm.bone.net

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=26&dist=0&size=1747244&name=net-snmp-5.7.1-6.x86_64.rpm

However, IMHO it is always better to have a home-brewed package than a
third party one. If you don't want to compile from upstream source, you can always
use a src rpm and just rpmbuild it, using the provided source or
replacing it with upstream:

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=26&dist=0&size=6164850&name=net-snmp-5.7.1-6.src.rpm
