Re: [nv-l] Disabling port 162 use

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

Actually, it isn't. Not by default any
way. The Microsoft Trap Service is.  And NetView's trapd uses an API
to get traps from the Service.  Any other well-behaved MS app can
do the same thing.  NetView started using the Trap Service back in
Version 6, so that other apps could be installed on the same Windows box
and get traps too.  So normally there is no good reason to alter that.

But if you must, you can make him stop
using the MS Trap Service and then listen on any other port you choose
by editing the Registry.
And this isn't recommended though possible.

Is this really what you want to do?
   Why?

How can I set up NetView 7.3 for Windows to not listen on port 162?

Thanks
