Change SNMP Ports used by HP ProCurve Manger Plus

[Zimmermann René]

Hi

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the ports used by HP ProCurve Manger Plus to communicate with the switches?

Is there a registry key or can I change something in a ini-file or something?

If i start a scan of a switch, there are used a lot of different ports. The problem is, that we have a firewall between the management station and some of the switches.

Any help would be appreciated.

Rene,
Generally you will not be able to change the TCP/IP port of the SNMP servers running on the HP switches. You will have to tune-up your firewall to allow SNMP traffic on standard SNMP ports (161 tcp/udp; 162 tcp/udp for SNMP traps).

Changing the ports in PCM+ (I don't know if this is even possible in PCM+) will cut SNMP communications with the switches, since these switches only listen to tcp/udp 161 and send traps only using 162 tcp/udp.
