Re: SNMPD v5.8 Error opening specified endpoint

Ok, additional information.
Compare this line in v5.8:
https://sourceforge.net/p/net-snmp/code/ci/master/tree/agent/agent_trap.c#l358
with this line
https://sourceforge.net/p/net-snmp/code/ci/v5.7.3/tree/agent/agent_trap.c#l251

You will see that v5.7 does not set a source. And because it does not set a
source it does not bind.

But maybe we want to bind? (Source says we want to reduce open ports but I
don't understand this)

Ok, but why bind on port 161? If understand correctly we want to SEND
traps. So we should bind localhost:<random high level port> ->
localhost:162 (address of our snmptrapd), but this does not happen.
Instead we get (note that netsnmp prints to->from):
netsnmp_udpbase: binding socket: 9 to UDP: [0.0.0.0]:0->[127.0.0.1]:161
netsnmp_udpbase: socket 9 bound to UDP: [127.0.0.1]:162->[127.0.0.1]:161

So why is socket bound on port 161 instead of some random high level port?
I didn't find where in code port 161 is set.

So I think the solution is that either port is unbound or random high level
port is chosen for binding.

I've also tried to set
clientaddr 127.0.0.1:<some high level port>
clientaddrUsesPort yes
because documentation says this will be used for clients but it also does
not work.
