ipMonitor 10.8.3 system requirements
SolarWinds strongly recommends that you install ipMonitor on a server that is protected from unauthorized access by the public. If your use of ipMonitor does not need to be public or internet-facing, install it on a server that is neither public, nor internet-facing. To learn about best practices for configuring your ipMonitor installation securely, see Best practices to secure SolarWinds Products.

ipMonitor traps
Any agent you configure to send traps to ipMonitor must use the same IP address and port combination.
If the Windows SNMP Trap Service is enabled on the ipMonitor host computer, it may conflict with the ipMonitor SNMP Trap Listener. Both are bound by default to port 162.
The POP3 User Experience monitor delivers an email to the SMTP server on port 25 for the recipient address you specify. The monitor then logs in to the POP3 Mail Server on port 110 and retrieves the LIST of queued mail.
