What's an easy to use SNMP client library for c++?
SNMP generally uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port number 161/162. An SNMP port is the SNMP communication endpoint. It is a logical construct that identifies SNMP data transfer. SNMP message transfer happens via UDP.
SNMP monitoring can be used to collect information from your entire fleet of network devices. SNMP relies on a client-server application model, where a software server component (the SNMP Manager) collects information by querying a software client component (the SNMP Agent), which runs on a network device.
SNMP Port NumbersPort 161: This port number is used when the NMS sends Get, GetNext, GetBulk, and Set requests and the SNMP agent responds to these requests.
The SNMP manager is a system that controls and monitors the activities of network hosts using SNMP. The most common managing system is a network management system (NMS). The term NMS can be applied either to a dedicated device used for network management or to the applications used on such a device.
SNMP++ is also a nice and open source library for C++ developers.

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