Set the SNMP Trap Port

You can run a workflow to set the port on which vRealize Orchestrator listens for SNMP traps.

The default port for SNMP traps is 162. On Linux systems, you can open ports below 1024 only with superuser privileges. The ports open for SNMP traps are 81 to 32767.

Prerequisites

• Prepare the vRealize Orchestrator Appliance for the configuration of the SNMP trap port. See Add a SNMP trap port to the vRealize Orchestrator Appliance.
• In the vRealize Orchestrator Client, select Administration > Inventory and verify that the SNMP device is connected.

Procedure

1. Log in to the vRealize Orchestrator Client as an administrator.
2. Navigate to Library > Workflows and enter the snmp and trap_host_management tags in the workflow search box.
3. Run the Set the SNMP trap port workflow.
4. Enter the port number on which vRealize Orchestrator listens for SNMP traps.
5. Click Run.

Results

The workflow stops the trap host, sets the new port, and starts the trap host again.

Note: If you upgrade your vRealize Orchestrator environment, you must run the vRealize Orchestrator Appliance and the Set the SNMP trap port workflow again.
