To resolve the above error, either stop the other trap server running on port 162, or change the port that TrapEXPLODER is running on.
To stop the other trap server:
1. Open Control Panel - Services
2. Highlight any trap receiver services that are running
3. Click the Stop button
4. Click the Startup... button
5. In the Startup Type section, select Manual
6. Click OK
7. Highlight the Empire Technologies SNMP TrapEXPLODER service
8. Click the Start button
9. Click the Close button
To change the port used on Windows machines:
- open regedit and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ConcordCommunications/ConcordTrapEXPLODER/CurrentVersion
- Select the CurrentVersion folder to make it the active folder
- Go to the Edit menu and choose New and choose String value
- Name the new entry "TrapPort"
- Enter the value of the new port
- Close out the registry editor
- Open a command prompt and restart the Trapexploder using these commands:
net stop trapexploder
net start trapexploder
- To verify the new port is being used, reference the output from the following command:
netstat -an - grep 162
- Nothing should be bound to port 162.
- Now run the following command:
netstat -an - grep <Port_#_Given_For_New_Registry_Key>
- The output should reflect that the new UDP port is being used
