Note about the default value of the SNMP reception port number
The default value of the SNMP reception port number of the SNMP agent is not 161/udp, but 22161/udp. Change the remote port of the manager to match this setting. For details about manager SNMP settings, see the manager documentation.
- Reason for changing the default value of the SNMP reception port number
-
When you change the SNMP reception port number of the Linux native agent from 161/udp to another number, you may not be able to change the port due to SELinux setting. This is why the Linux native agent uses 161/udp, and the SNMP agent uses 22161/udp as an SNMP reception port number.
