Explanation

SNMP uses two ports: UDP port 161 for sending and receiving messages, and UDP port 162 for receiving trap messages. UDP port 161: This is the main port used by SNMP for sending and receiving messages. UDP port 162: This port is used by SNMP to receive trap messages. Trap messages are sent by SNMP agents to notify monitoring servers of events, such as a device going down. Therefore, the administrator should open UDP port 161 on the monitoring server's firewall.
