Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running

VMware ESXi

Server Administrator generates Simple Network Management Protocol

(SNMP) traps in response to changes in the status of sensors and other

monitored parameters. You must configure one or more trap destinations on

the system running Server Administrator to send SNMP traps to a

management station.

Server Administrator supports SNMP traps on VMware ESXi but does not

support SNMP Get and Set operations because VMware ESXi does not

provide the required SNMP support. You can use the VMware vSphere CLI to

configure VMware ESXi to send SNMP traps to a management application

such as IT Assistant.

NOTE: For more information about using the VMware vSphere CLI, see the

VMware support site at vmware.com/support.

Configuring Your System to Send Traps to a Management Station Using

the vSphere CLI

Server Administrator generates SNMP traps in response to changes in the

status of sensors and other monitored parameters. One or more trap

destinations must be configured on the system running Server Administrator

to send SNMP traps to a management station.

Configure your ESXi system running Server Administrator to send traps to a

management station:

Install the VMware vSphere CLI.

Open a command prompt on the system in which the vSphere CLI is

installed.
