Q7050025: Is the Windows SNMP Trap Service required to receive SNMP Traps with Network Monitor?
No, it is not required. It is even not possible to receive traps through SNMP with Network Monitor while the Windows SNMP Trap Service is running.
If you have the Windows SNMP Traps Service running, Network Monitor will NOT be able to receive incoming SNMP Traps. Network Monitor opens an UDP socket (default port 162) to listen for incoming traps; only one process at a time can listen for packets on such port.
