The SNMP4J-mac file is a binary which will
work on some mac platforms. If it does
not work on yours, then use
"java -jar SNMP4J.jar" which will work
always on all Java platforms.

You will need both, SNMP4J and on top SNMP4J-Agent.

IpAddress is not a transport protocol.
You need to use a UdpAddress or TcpAddress instead
to identify the target application (=port) on
the target host.
