Yes, the same agent code is used for all SNMP protocol versions. The
only difference is that SNMP v1 cannot return a Counter64 object.

thanks Niels.

I want to elaborate my question.

I generated code for SNMPV2 using mib2c and added logic to get,set and
receive the traps.

Can I use the same existing code for SNMPv3 by adding user name
(net-snmp-create-v3-user). To work in SNMPv3 only config changes are
sufficent or do i need ti change the existence code.
