SNMP on SBR ver 7.3.1

[Hany Abdel Baki_]

Hi,

We are trying to configure SNMP on SBR ver 7.3.1

I loaded jnprsnmpd.conf file at /opt/JNPRsbr/radius/snmp/conf

And I got below error at jnprsnmpd.log

Error opening specified endpoint "162"

Server Exiting with code 1

please advise.

Seems like SNMP utility in SBR is unable to bind to port 162.

Can you validate whether the port has been already used by any other process in the server.

Typically I have seen such conflicts with OS SNMP utilities itself.

Thanks

Hi Ashish,

Hope you are doing well.

please check the below, it seems that no other SNMP agent daemon running execpt for SBR

Hi,

I suspect the port 162 is already in use and hence we are seeing this error.

May be you need to try with a different port like 166 or 167 etc,

Replace the port# 162 with 166 or 167 in the jnprsnmpd.conf, then check snmp traps and logs.

Hi Hany,

The output pasted by you, confirms that multiple snmpd daemon are running on the machine and could be causing the conflicts.

Can you try and use a free port.

You could netstat -a to identify active network connections

Thanks
