Hi,
If your system is registered in RedHat Network you can try these utilities: up2date or yum...

And if you have a valid RHN license and have registered it to RedHat Network, you can login to https://rhn.redhat.com and search & download individual RPMs from there. You can even download old versions, if necessary.

Shalom,

The only place to get genuine redhat is http://www.redhat.com

You will find all the rpm's however on a number of open source 100% binary compatible sites. http://www.centos.org

Problem though is they only present the latest release which is rhel 5 update 5.

If you poke around you can find older releases. google is your friend.

If you don't have a support contract with Redhat, you can still browse their site for the snmp you want, and download the source code for it.

While this is much less fun(i.e. possibly tedious) than using the built in tools and using the package managers; if you really don't want to spend the dough, it's there available for you.

Hello friends, thank you very much for rapid response, I am always getting very good solution on this form, I am not very active now a day on this form site, although my total points are 1k+ only.
Hello JBR my system is not registered with redhat, I am aware that we can do yum to install if its registered. Will prefer to download rmps and install as other friends suggested, will do it and let you know if any difficulty.
Thank you.

Shalom,

If the system IS registered,and you have Internet access you can use yum.

yum list
To see what is available.

yum install
to install.

you should get your rpms from the yum (or for older versions up2date) tool. this will do a lot of hard work for you if there are dependencies present. this only works if you have a support contract with RH.

if you don't have support from RH, you should use centos instead! then you get the same benefits as above.

manual downloading of rpms has no purpose _except_ if the rpm is not included by default in the RH repositoties. but in that case you have to think over what you're doing when installing this on a production box.

use the repositories, always.
