MLM port configuration.

["Boulieris, Arthur" <Arthur.Boulieris@nz.unisys.com>]

Hi all,
I am running netview 5.1.2 for solaris 2.6.
I have a request to add an MLM to our existing setup but it has raised a
couple of questions regarding trap ports.

Firstly can a device (MLM) listen and send on the same port (port 162). I
assume no which is why the redbook talks about reconfiguring the netview
server to listen on port 165 for traps and MLM to forward traps to netview
on 165.

The next question is what do I do about hundreds of devices that forward
traps to netview on port 162 , netview wont be listening on this port? Is
there a work around or will I need to have the trap destination of all these
devices changed to an MLM?

Thanks Arthur
