Technical Details

what runs on :10162

SNMP notification messages are carried as DTLS application data over UDP. A DTLS handshake establishes encryption and authenticates the endpoints, commonly using certificates or configured trust relationships, after which SNMP trap messages retain normal SNMP encoding and semantics. UDP/10162 is the secure trap port; UDP/10161 is used for secure SNMP request/response traffic, while UDP/162 is the conventional unencrypted trap port.

worth attention. how exposed you are depends on configuration — don't leave it reachable from the internet without a reason.

security overview

DTLS provides confidentiality, integrity, and endpoint authentication when trust is configured correctly. Internet exposure is generally unnecessary because trap receivers are normally reachable only from managed networks; exposed listeners may still be targeted for handshake or notification floods, and weak certificate or trust configuration can permit spoofed traps.
