Re: SNMP how to change transport from UDP to TCP ?

in reply to SNMP how to change transport from UDP to TCP ?

Traps by default are via TCP. However, if you're looking to change the transport for other SNMP operations, if Net::SNMP operates the same way that the C and java APIs work, you can specify the transport in the 'hostspec'.

 hostname = "tcp:host:port" ;

I have not tried this in the perl implementation myself however.

SNMP only uses udp, according to Managing Internetworks with SNMP, pgs 24, 154-155, 157, 166, and so on. I don't think it can be changed to tcp.	[reply]
