snmpd may report warning messages: "The separate port argument to trapsink is deprecated"

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Warning messages are reported as soon as snmpd starts.
  • /var/log/messages contains:
    snmpd[xxxx]: /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 464: Warning: The separate port argument to trapsink is deprecated
snmpd[xxxx]: /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 465: Warning: The separate port argument to trapsink2 is deprecated
  • /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf includes the following two lines:
    trapsink 127.0.0.1 public 162
trap2sink 127.0.0.1 public 162
  • snmpd should start normally although the warning message is reported.
