Hi Dave, Thank you for the information ! I can see in manpage for snmpcmd that your version in the fact is true... and with someone working on the project I'm sure of the best answer ;)
May be, it could be a good update to add this information in specific manpage of snmpwalk or/and in his --help parameter. I searched in my Linux distribution manpage, on the Internet (overall), in the Net-SNMP.Org Documentation... and nowhere I found this information. It's not user-friendly to search information about snmpwalk option in snmpcmd manpage !

I don't know where you found this information, but it's not correct. It is perfectly possible to specify an alternative port with snmpwalk and friends - this is something that most of the developers will be using all the time. Please see the man page for "snmpcmd" - in particular the section headed "AGENT SPECIFICATION". This describes how to give the destination to send queries to - including how to specify a non-default port with a variety of transport mechanisms. What was removed some time ago was the command-line option flag to specify an IPv4 port. This IPv4-specific option was essentially redundant, given the more powerful transport-address syntax described in the above man page. > I submit you this message to let my opinion that having an alternative > port option is almost necessary with any network application ! In hope > that my suggestion will be heard and you will add this option again in snmpwalk !!! This functionality was never removed.
