Hi Abhimanyu Gupta,

Steps to Diagnose SNMP Issue:

1. Verify Subsystems: Please ensure the following subsystems are running and active:

startsrc -s snmpd
startsrc -s snmpmibd
startsrc -s hostmibd
startsrc -s aixmibd

2. Check SNMP Configuration: Verify the configuration in the /etc/snmpdv3.conf file:

Are the community strings, access control settings, and agent address settings correctly defined?

Is the SNMP daemon listening on the expected port (typically UDP 161)?

3. Unusual Port Binding:

The SNMP daemon is currently bound to port 1610, which is unexpected. Please verify why it is not using the default SNMP UDP port 161:

Is there another application or process currently occupying port 161?

-Thanks
