SNMP not listening
Posted by Gilbert on April 13th, 2006


I am running Windows Server 2003 SP1 and I have SNMP installed but it's not
listening on port 161. I ran netstat and it's listing other ports that are
listening but not port 161 for SNMP. there's no firewall installed on this
server.

I've tried to uninstall/reinstall the SNMP service, restarting it but still
no luck.

Hey Gilbert,

Check your task manager and look for a process called SNMP.EXE. If it's
running then take a look at it's PID. (enable PIDs in View/Select Columns).

Go to a CMD Prompt and use:
netstat -ano | find PID (replace PID with real PID)

This will show what ports your SNMP is using.

If the SNMP is not running:
Make sure the component it installed
Make sure the service is started
Possible reboot of server


Hope this helps,

I figured it out. The server didn't actually have SP1 installed. I
installed SP1 and that fixed the problem.

Your other suggestions were good but I had already tried them all.
