Configure SNMP on Your VMware ESX Server

Last Updated: 1/6/09

Here are the commands you need to enable SNMP on your VMware ESX server:

  1. esxcfg-firewall -e snmpd

  2. vi /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

    3. Just change the default values to the ones you want. Also if you want snmp traps you may want to add a new line like this: 
    trapsink      trap_server_ip_address      community name

  3. service snmpd restart
