Technical Details

what runs on :10162

SNMP Trap over TLS carries SNMP notification messages over a TCP connection protected by TLS. SNMP messages use BER encoding and length framing over the TLS stream; TLS provides transport encryption and can authenticate peers using certificates, with identity and trust configured by the SNMP deployment. Port 10162 is the registered trap/notification port; it is distinct from the usual UDP port 162 and the SNMP-over-TLS request/response port 10161.

security overview

TLS can protect notification contents and authenticate the sending peer, but the security depends on certificate validation and access-control configuration. Traps can disclose device names, addresses, and operational or security events, so restrict the listener to trusted management networks rather than exposing it publicly. The port is rarely observed open in internet-wide scans.

Record

iana registry entry

port: :10162
service: SNMP Trap over TLS
transport: TCP
encryption: tls / encrypted
assignment: iana registered
risk: 2/10safe
category: Security Network Services
usage: This is the registered port for SNMP notifications (traps) sent over TLS, rather than the commonly encountered UDP trap port 162. Engineers are most likely to find it on a managed device or monitoring system configured for SNMP over TLS; it is rarely seen in internet-wide scans.
