snmptrapd won't start

Post by seaward1983 »

Linux Distribution and version Redhat 6
64-bit
Manual Install of XI

snmpd is running
snmptt is running
FW rules are correct

Error is 'snmptrapd dead but subsys locked'

**update. Enabled logging - result was
couldn't open udp:162 -- errno 98 ("Address already in use")

I did a netstat on port 162 - and found out nimbus was using the same port. I stopped the nimbus service, and snmptrapd service was able to start.

Is there a way that both can use this port?

You cannot have 2 applications listen on the same port
