How to Disable the SNMP Daemon to Avoid Port 161 Conflict

The Sun Management Center agent and the snmpdx agent both try to use port 161. To use port 161 for Sun Management Center agents, disable snmpdx.

1. Become superuser.

2. Stop snmpdx.

   # /etc/init.d/init.snmpdx stop

3. Prevent snmpdx from running in future.

   # cd /etc/snmp/conf # mv snmpdx.rsrc snmpdx.rsrc.stop
