Frequently asked questions

What port does Net-SNMP use?

Net-SNMP commonly uses these ports: 161, 162. The default port is 161. These are community database references — actual configuration may differ.

How do I check if Net-SNMP is running?

Run sudo ss -tupn 'sport = :161 or sport = :162' on the server to check for listening processes on these ports. Also use systemctl status <service> to check the service state.
