You can read about restricting SNMP access here:

agentaddress <- This is the address that the BigIP is listening for requests on. By default, it's all addresses. So as long as you had the proper port open, you could query for SNMPD data on management or on your self IPs. You could use this to limit access to only your management IP. Read more here: http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/man/snmpd.conf.html
So agentaddress specifies the address that's being listened on, while the other is remote addresses that are allowed to access. So you may be listening on your management address only (agentaddress), but you may only allow your SNMP system to actually query that address.
