Troubleshooting
Make sure ports 161 and 162 are opened in the firewall between the EMS and the SNMP trap host server.
You can also use netcat to test the connectivity between the two servers:
1. Testing connection from EMS to SNMP trap host, run the following command on EMS:
$ echo "test" | nc -vv -u <traphost_ip> 162
This will show an error on the SNMP trap host server, meaning SNMP port is opened between EMS and SNMP trap host.
