LocalPort Property

The port in the local host where the SNMP Manager is bound to.

Syntax

snmptcpmgrcontrol.LocalPort[=integer]

Default Value

0

Remarks

The LocalPort property must be set before the control is activated (Active is set to True). It instructs the control to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine. The default port is 0 (random port). If you would like to receive traps, set LocalPort to 162 (standard trap port). However, it is recommended that the SNMPTrapMgr control be used for listening to traps, because SNMPMgr is limited to receiving SNMPv3 traps from a single agent only. SNMPTrapMgr does not have this limitation.

LocalPort cannot be changed once the control is Active. Any attempt to set the LocalPort property when the control is Active will generate an error.

Note: on macOS and iOS, root permissions are required to set LocalPort to any value below 1024.
