What specifically do you mean by yum not working?

1.) Does it give any sort of error message?
2.) What OS and version is this on?
3.) If it is RedHat, are you subscribed to the RedHat Network?
4.) Is the device Internet-connected?
5.) Are there any proxies or firewalls that may be blocking updates?

this is the error:

[root@ss1 ~]# yum install net-snmp
Loading "security" plugin
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package net-snmp available.
Nothing to do

and server Redhat and not connected to internet , also I can't connect to internet based on policy on the company and no firwall

Grab the latest net-snmp source:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/net-snm ... p/5.7.2.1/

Should be as easy as a configure, make, make install. Like any other standard source compilation.

Have you tried : yum search net-snmp ?

[hanya.radwan]

I installed before this release net-snmp-5.6.2.1.tar.gz.
but I can't find snmpd service or snmp service or snmpd.conf

so can I unistall it

To uninstall something compiled from source you'd generally remove the binaries and the files/folders that were created during the compilation. Just because you can't find them does not mean that they don't exist, I suggest using a tool such as find or locate to search for the files by name to see where they were placed. On the note of yum on your system, it clearly stated that:

This system is not registered with RHN.

In most cases, if your RHEL server is not registered you will not be able to talk to some standard repo's such as epel, etc. You need to have a licensed and registered copy of your software to use it properly.
