It looks like both machines (10.21.120.131 and 10.21.120.132) don't have snmptrap deamon
working. As You can see both server answer with "icmp: udp port snmptrap unreachable" - it
means that they don't have any process listening on this port. There are two widely used
ports for SNMP:
1) UDP port 161 - for SNMP queries (snmpget,snmpset etc.)
2) UDP port 162 - for SNMP traps - this deamon accepts SNMP traps - in case of these
machines this deamon is not working.
