Changing the SNMP Port Number on a Windows System

Diese Seite steht leider noch nicht auf Deutsch zur Verfügung. Wir bitten um Ihr Verständnis!

In order to change the UDP port number for the SNMP service on WIndows systems you have to edit the SERVICES file in the %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC folder (usually c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc).

Open the file in a text editor and change the port number from the default value 161 to your desired value in the following line:

snmp 161/udp #SNMP

Save the file and restart the SNMP service in the services applet of the control panel.
