Question
NPM opens port 1965 even when NPM statement PORTNUM=NO is coded in FNMINIT.
Answer
With many parameters in the NPM statement, such as SNMPCOLL or TELNET, the operands are 'YES' or 'NO'. This isn't the case with PORTNUM. It must be coded with a numeric value. PORTNUM=0 is used to cause NPM to not open a port. It sets TELNET and SNMPCOLL parameters to 'NO' but PORTNUM=NO is not valid and shouldn't be used. It will cause it to default to its 1965 value.
