So i'm building a snmp trap receiver to receive snmp trap messages. i'm using the sharpsnmp-net package from lexstudios aswell as the sample.engine with pipline from github. I'm creating a simple wpf application to just show messages on screen for testing all in .net 4.7.1.

So for the listening part i roughly used the sample snmpd.

public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        private SnmpEngine _engine;
        private const string StrAllUnassigned = "All Unassigned";

        public MainWindow()
        {
            var store = new ObjectStore();
            store.Add(new SysDescr());
            store.Add(new SysObjectId());
            store.Add(new SysUpTime());
            store.Add(new SysContact());
            store.Add(new SysName());
            store.Add(new SysLocation());
            store.Add(new SysServices());
            store.Add(new SysORLastChange());
            store.Add(new SysORTable());
            store.Add(new IfNumber());
            store.Add(new IfTable());

            var users = new UserRegistry();
            users.Add(new OctetString("neither"), DefaultPrivacyProvider.DefaultPair);
            users.Add(new OctetString("authen"), new DefaultPrivacyProvider(new MD5AuthenticationProvider(new OctetString("authentication"))));
            if (DESPrivacyProvider.IsSupported)
            {
                users.Add(new OctetString("privacy"), new DESPrivacyProvider(new OctetString("privacyphrase"),
                                                                             new MD5AuthenticationProvider(new OctetString("authentication"))));
            }

            if (AESPrivacyProviderBase.IsSupported)
            {
                users.Add(new OctetString("aes"), new AESPrivacyProvider(new OctetString("privacyphrase"), new MD5AuthenticationProvider(new OctetString("authentication"))));
                users.Add(new OctetString("aes192"), new AES192PrivacyProvider(new OctetString("privacyphrase"), new MD5AuthenticationProvider(new OctetString("authentication"))));
                users.Add(new OctetString("aes256"), new AES256PrivacyProvider(new OctetString("privacyphrase"), new MD5AuthenticationProvider(new OctetString("authentication"))));
            }

            var getv1 = new GetV1MessageHandler();
            var getv1Mapping = new HandlerMapping("v1", "GET", getv1);

            var setv1 = new SetV1MessageHandler();
            var setv1Mapping = new HandlerMapping("v1", "SET", setv1);

            var getnextv1 = new GetNextV1MessageHandler();
            var getnextv1Mapping = new HandlerMapping("v1", "GETNEXT", getnextv1);

            var v1 = new Version1MembershipProvider(new OctetString("public"), new OctetString("public"));

            var membership = new ComposedMembershipProvider(new IMembershipProvider[] { v1 });
            var handlerFactory = new MessageHandlerFactory(new[]
            {
                getv1Mapping,
                setv1Mapping,
                getnextv1Mapping
            });

            var pipelineFactory = new SnmpApplicationFactory(new RollingLogger(), store, membership, handlerFactory);
            _engine = new SnmpEngine(pipelineFactory, new Listener { Users = users }, new EngineGroup());
            _engine.ExceptionRaised += (sender, e) => MessageBox.Show(e.Exception.ToString());

So to receive snmp trap messages you also got to send one. I have got a textbox with port number combobox with ip address. a send trap button and start and stop button.

Send a trap works perfectly i can verify in wireshark i do have a snmp packet however icmp answer with port unreachable which means no one is listening.-> issue 1

When activating the engine i don't have any errors but regarding the icmp i checked in cmd with command : netstat -an to check if something was listening on port 162 but bad luck.

How can i verify the engine is working and or something is listening? I subscribed to the message_received event but i don't receive anything which could lead to the fact that no one is listening.

And last but not least when I press the stop button i do get a socketexception, but don't receive any of my own messages from try catch loops -> Should I assume this is in the package?

How to solve this problem. I want just to receive snmpv1 trap messages and the store them in a datatable so far.
