Reconfiguring multiplexer IP/UDP ports

This topic describes how to change the IP/UDP ports used by the NMS multiplexer after the master agent, the NMS multiplexer, and the subagents are running.

By default, the NMS multiplexer uses the following IP/UDP ports:

161

49212

Communication port between the NMS SNMP subagents and the NMS multiplexer

49213

These port values are stored in the snmp.cfg. To change the values, edit snmp.cfg by completing the following steps:
