SNMP++ is also a nice and open source library for C++ developers.

Easier to use than net-snmp in my opinion... – Chris M. Mar 29 '10 at 09:46

looks nice and simple. Is it really? is it robust and reliable? – f4. Apr 06 '10 at 14:45

1Why not evaluate it? It's open source so you can feel free to try it out. – Lex Li Apr 07 '10 at 00:56

I will. But I'm on a tight schedule and I'd better not lose time with a poor library :) anyway it looks ok for now – f4. Apr 07 '10 at 09:59

AES 192 encryption failed for me using this library – Antarus Jun 23 '14 at 09:10

1There exists at least two different AES192 implementations: 1. That one that was defined in a IETF draft. That has been originally implemented by SNMP++ (https://agentpp.com) and SNMP4J. 2. An implementation that was part of many Cisco devices which used a different algorithm than in the IETF draft. Most likely Antarus tested with a Cisco device. The second AES192 implementation is now also available in SNMP++ and SNMP4J. – ooSNMP Oct 05 '15 at 20:12

Probably the best choice is net-snmp. Note that the library has "C" linkage but will work just fine with C++.

I have found that Net-SNMP does not support multi-threading with v3 type queries. So if you are writing an SNMP monitoring tool that will be polling multiple hosts then you will need to take this into consideration.

OpenSNMP contains a complete multi-threaded implementation of SNMPv3 that is done in C++ (complete with classes, etc). It's not heavily used and maintained though.
Net-SNMP with v3 over TLS/DTLS is likely to be threadsafe as it's really SNMPv3/USM that contains threading issues. I think.
