No, 163 is not standard. Stick with 161 and 162 for SNMP.

I’m not sure about 162. Isn’t it 163 for some setups?
AD
Adelle

Yeah, I agree. 161 is for requests and 162 for traps.
AN

I think we need to open ports 161 and 162. That's standard for SNMP.

161 is correct, but 162 is also needed for notifications!

Wait, are you sure about 162? I thought it was 163 for something else.
SH

Agreed, 161 is a must!
AV

Definitely 161, but I thought 162 was for traps only?

You need to open ports 161 and 162 for SNMP.

C and D, easy peasy. Unless your firewall is made of adamantium, then you might need some vibranium ports.

Haha, who needs SNMP when you can just yell at the servers through the firewall? C and D are the way to go.
BR

Definitely C and D. Can't have those firewalls blocking my SNMP traffic!

I think A and C are the right ports. Gotta let that SNMP data flow through!
AD

C and D are the correct ports for SNMP.

I feel like I’ve seen 161 and 162 in practice questions before, but I’m not 100% confident about the second port.
TR
Tracey

I’m a bit confused; I thought SNMP traps were sent over 162, but I can’t recall if that’s the right one to select here.

I remember practicing a question where we had to open ports for SNMP, and I think it was 161 and 162.

I think SNMP uses port 161 for the agent to send data, but I'm not entirely sure about the other one.

This is a straightforward networking question. The SNMP manager listens on port 161, and the SNMP agents send data to port 162. So the two ports I need to open in the firewalls are 161 and 162. I'm confident that's the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know SNMP uses specific ports, but I can't quite remember which ones off the top of my head. I'll have to review my notes quickly before answering.

Okay, I've got this. The SNMP manager uses port 161 to receive data, and the SNMP agents use port 162 to send data. So the ports I need to open in the firewalls are 161 and 162. Easy peasy!

Ugh, I'm not too familiar with SNMP. Let me think this through - the question mentions firewall changes, so I'm guessing the ports needed to allow SNMP traffic through the firewalls are the key. I'll have to double-check the common SNMP port numbers.
JA
Jamal

Hmm, this seems straightforward. I think I'll go with C) 161 and A) 162 since those are the standard SNMP ports.
LE

Good call! Opening those should fix the issue.
AN

Definitely! Those are the standard ports for SNMP.
CA

I agree, C) 161 and A) 162 are the right choices.
