SNMP Port 161 address already in used error in UBUNTU Linux OS

I have an c#.net core console application in which SNMP socket is binding to port 161(hard coded value). Application is getting error at the runtime.

Error: "Address already in use"

Currently 161 port address is used by another process SNMPD. I tried to kill the SNMPD process,but again it is running automatically.

How to kill SNMPD process? Please help me on this issue...

Solution

  • You can stop snmpd with sudo systemctl stop snmpd, but if you are not using it you might be better off uninstalling it.
