3.4 Changing the SNMP reception port on SNMP Agent
You need to change the SNMP reception port on SNMP Agent in the following cases:
-
A native agent or other SNMP Agent product and SNMP Agent are using the same SNMP reception port at the same time.
-
A firewall environment requires a different SNMP reception port on SNMP Agent.
The SNMP reception port on SNMP Agent is determined based on the following priority:
-
The port number specified in the SR_SNMP_TEST_PORT environment variable
The SR_SNMP_TEST_PORT environment value is set to 161 in Solaris or AIX, and 22161 in Linux, respectively by default.
-
The port number specified for the snmp service name in the /etc/services file
The following subsections describe how to change the SNMP reception port on SNMP Agent and native agent.
