Allowing the Gateway to receive SNMP traps for APC devices and/or 3rd party SNMP devices
EcoStruxure IT Expert uses only UDP port 1062 for both APC NMC and 3rd party SNMP traps. CentOS does not allow port 1062 for incoming SNMP trap on its default settings.
In Gateway 1.10 and newer, you can configure additional SNMP ports in the Settings > Advanced > SNMP trap ports option. See Configure SNMP trap ports
1. To check which inbound ports are allowed:
Type sudo firewall-cmd –list-ports
It will return empty if no incoming port is allowed
