CM 6.3 SNMP Trap - firewall Modification Required

  • 1.  CM 6.3 SNMP Trap - firewall Modification Required

    Posted 09-17-2015 08:08 AM

    I am trying to configure SNMP traps from CM 6.3. I configured the SNMP trap receiver in the CM web gui. I generate a test trap and I don't ever receive it. I am using Wireshark on the NMS machine to make sure the trap is received.

    I noticed that in the firewall there is a rule to allos SNMP on UDP 161 but nothign for SNMP trap on UDP 162.

    Do I need to modify the firewall to allow SNMP traps outbound from CM?

    The firewall help has this to say about modigying firewall rules in CM 6.3.

    Use the Firewall SMI page to view the current IPv4 and IPv6 firewall rules. Altering the firewall rules is considered an advanced usage that can only be performed using the command line.
