How can I change the default listening port (port 162) for xtrapd?
To change the default listening port for xtrapd, run the commands as described below:
On Linux Management Server:
  • /opt/VRTSsfmcs/bin/xtrapdctrl stop
  • /opt/VRTSsfmcs/bin/xtrapdctrl startnew port no
    Note: Ifxtrapdis restarted, it will again fall back to the default listening port 162.
On Windows Management Server:
On Windows operating system, xtrapd runs as a service. To change the listening port in Windows, the xtrapd service must be re-registered for the new port.
  • C:\Program Files\Veritas\VRTSsfmcs\bin>vomsc --stop xtrapd
  • C:\Program Files\Veritas\VRTSsfmcs\bin>xtrapd.exe -unregister
  • C:\Program Files\Veritas\VRTSsfmcs\bin>xtrapd.exe -register -c "Path in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Symantec\VRTSsfmh\shared\xtrapd\xtrapd.conf" new port no
  • C:\Program Files\Veritas\VRTSsfmcs\bin>vomsc --start xtrapd
    Note: No SNMP traps will be processed while the ports are being updated.
