Answer

1. log in server as "smartsys"
2. cd /spirent/metro/escout/scripts
3. modify the escoutCommonProperties.txt file as shown below:

Assumed Before:
SNMPTRAP_ADDRESS=udp:100.200.10.20/162
SNMPTRAP_COMMUNITY=public

Assumed After (adding udp:0.0.0.0/55123 and associated community string, public):
SNMPTRAP_ADDRESS=udp:100.200.10.20/162,udp:0.0.0.0/55123
SNMPTRAP_COMMUNITY=public,public
