Enabling SNMP on VMware ESX/ESXi

This post explains about the steps to configure SNMP in ESX/ESXI host to send SNMP traps. We are going to configure SNMP via VMA (vSphere Management Assistant 4.1)
1. Login to your VMA (vSphere Management Assistant) with vi-admin account. I am running with VMA 4.1 in my environment.
2. Add your ESXi server (192.168.0.70) to VMA to centrally administer the ESXi host from VMA and provide root credentials to add it.
Vifp addserver 192.168.0.70
3. Make sure Added ESXi server is visible to manage under VMA. My ESXi server 192.168.0.70 is visible under the list of servers in VMA.
4.Set your target ESXI server in VMA to execute the series of commands from VMA.
5. Configure the SNMP community Name using the below command. My SNMP community name is “vmware“
6. Configure SNMP trap host to send the alerts to using the below command.
SNMP use port 162 , target host is 192.168.0.200 and my community name is VMware.
7. Enable the SNMP service on the ESXi host
8. To send test SNMP traps.
