I reported this back in 2020, but I think there was confusion caused by my
response. Snmpd definitely throws an error if a trapsink contains a TCP
transport specifier:
# cat /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
rocommunity public
trapsink tcp:10.224.4.161 public
# snmpd -f -Le
snmpd: netsnmp_create_notification_session:
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 3: Error: cannot create sink: tcp:10.224.4.161
net-snmp: 1 error(s) in config file(s)
NET-SNMP version 5.9
Here is some additional debugging, in case it helps:
# snmpd -f -Le -Dtdomain,snmp_sess
