Command Line Interface to enable SNMP on a VMWare ESXI server

Thursday, May 19th, 2011

Maybe You like to enable SNMP on Your VMware ESXI server.
Recently I used some suggestions from this page.
Install the VMware vSphere CLI interface andi issue commands like

vicfg-snmp –server <ESXi_ip> -c <communityname> -p 161 -t <destination_host>@161/<community name>

vicfg-snmp –server <ESXi_ip> -E

or (a bad but working way) just edit the file /etc/vmware/snmp.xml
