Votes:

0

In the infrastructure that monitoring exists a firewall that this blocking port UDP 161 and only allows tcp 161, exists the procedure to change my monitoring in PRTG over tcp 161? Its very important to have ready this monitoring for my client.

Thanks for the support

Greetings

Hi,
as you want to monitor SNMP I'm afraid it is not possible to change the protocol to TCP as the implementation of SNMP requires UDP. Sorry.
Best regards

This is such a bummer because I also really need TCP 161 working.
