SNMP Server

The SNMP server operates on a network device, such as a router, a switch, or a workstation. It responds to SNMP requests received from SNMP clients and generates trap messages to alert the client(s) about notable state changes in the network device.

The SNMP server implementation operates over UDP/IP only. It can receive requests directed to any IP address configured on the router. SNMP requests and responses are received or sent on UDP port 161. SNMP traps are sent from UDP port 162 by default or from a configurable port. For traps sent from UDP port 162, you can configure the destination UDP port for each recipient with the snmp-server host command.
