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:

1. 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.

2. 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.
