Running Multiple Network Management Applications
If you are running another network management application (besides Site
Manager) on your workstation, you must configure Site Manager to receive trap
messages via another port on your Site Manager workstation. This is necessary for
the following reasons:
• The router can only send trap messages to one network management
application at a time.
• Only one application can map to a port at a time.
To configure the SNMP agent to send trap messages to Site Manager via a
different port, follow these steps:
1. From the Configuration Manager window, select
Protocols➔IP➔SNMP➔Communities.
2. From the SNMP Community List window that appears, select
Community➔Managers.
3. From the SNMP Manager List window, select Manager➔Edit Manager.
The Trap Port and Trap Types window appears with the default value 162
(F
igure 2-6).
Note: By default, a network management application installed on your
workstation binds to UDP (User Datagram Protocol) Port 162. This port is
dedicated to receiving SNMP traps from the SNMP agent. Since Site Manager
is the preferred network management application for receiving trap messages,
we recommend that, when running another manager, you configure Site
Manager to bind to an alternative UDP port where Site Manager can continue
to receive trap messages.
