Running mutiple snmpd daemons on Windows
Priya Raghavendra
My requirement is to run two snmpd daemons on the same windows machine.
i.e. the first instance can use the default port addresss of 161 and 162.
Now for the second instance I want to use some other port address say 171 and 172.
How do I do this?
If I see the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\services there is this entry,
snmp 161/udp #SNMP
snmptrap 162/udp snmp-trap #SNMP trap
How do I add a second entry in this file for the second snmpd daemon?
Thanks,
Priya

The SNMP agent only uses one port (161 by default).
Port 162 is used for receiving SNMP traps.
This is handled by a different program (e.g. snmptrapd).

If you want the agent to listen for requests on port 171, then just specify this
as the last parameter of the command:
snmpd .... 171
See the snmpd man page for more details

No - don't touch that file.

But my requirement is to run two SNMP Agents, one on Port 161 and another on Port 171.
How do I do this?

You start the first one normally, (snmpd ..... )
then start the second one specifying the non-standard port to use
(snmpd .... 171)
