Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/snmpd from binding to port 161. Detailed Description: SELinux has denied the snmpd from binding to a network port 161 which does not have an SELinux type associated with it. If snmpd should be allowed to listen on 161, use the semanage command to assign 161 to a port type that snmpd_t can bind to (snmp_port_t, agentx_port_t). If snmpd is not supposed to bind to 161, this could signal an intrusion attempt. Allowing Access: If you want to allow snmpd to bind to port 161, you can execute # semanage port -a -t PORT_TYPE -p tcp 161 where PORT_TYPE is one of the following: snmp_port_t, agentx_port_t. If this system is running as an NIS Client, turning on the allow_ypbind boolean may fix the problem. setsebool -P allow_ypbind=1.

Is this your local customization? I mean using using of 161/tcp port.
I don't recall making any custom changes, but will have to check. It didn't dawn on me that this was showing TCP rather than UDP. I will look in to why this has happened.
