snmp – timeout when connecting master and agent

Everytime that I run a command to interact the manager(server) to the agent(client) I get ‘snmpget: Timeout’. this happens both ways both are configured to accept connection from remote hosts. I’m new to snmp. I may have forget to do something

Answer

SNMP protocol uses specific ports (161 & 162 )for communications.

161 for snmpget type of commands and 162 for traps.

Ensure that these two ports are open on both hosts
