yum -y install net-snmp net-snmp-utils

To run the SNMP daemon run the following from command line in 6.x: 

service snmpd start

To stop the SNMP daemon run the following in 6.x: 

service snmpd stop

To run the SNMP daemon run the following from command line in 7.x: 

systemctl start snmpd.service

To stop the SNMP daemon run the following in 7.x: 

systemctl stop snmpd.service

Once the service is installed and started, test it by running the following: 

snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 1 localhost system

This should show some basic information about the system including:
