Bind Failed: Address Already In Use

If a bind fails because the address is in use, the agent displays a message similar to the following when it first starts:

sysedge: bind call failed: Address already in use
sysedge: another agent is probably running on port X

This message most often occurs when another SNMP agent is already running and bound to port UDP/161, which is the default SNMP agent port.

For more information about using the SystemEDGE agent with other SNMP agents, see the appendix “Co-existence with Other SNMP Agents.” For more information about using the agent on an alternative UDP port, see the chapter “Starting the Agent.”
