local_port Property

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

Syntax

def get_local_port() -> int: ...
def set_local_port(value: int) -> None: ...

local_port = property(get_local_port, set_local_port)

Default Value

0

Remarks

The local_port property must be set before the class is activated (active is set to True). It instructs the class 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 local_port to 162 (standard trap port). However, it is recommended that the SNMPTrapMgr class 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.

local_port cannot be changed once the class is active. Any attempt to set the local_port property when the class is active will generate an error.

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