I know that there are devices that now support agentless SNMP configuration. However I believe that the SNMP agent application has to run somewhere. It has to be some code running somewhere stored on some flash memory or a similar device.

There's no definitive rule but most likely the agent runs in software on the CPU with code in firmware.

Regardin personal computers, do operating systems have SNMP agents integrated inside? Or do motherborads firmware have them?– yoyo_funSep 28, 2017 at 13:44

@yoyo_fun, personal computers and their OSes are off-topic here. You can ask about those on Super User.– Ron Maupin ♦Sep 28, 2017 at 14:30
