Configuring the SNMP Agent on Systems Running
VMware ESXi 4
Server Administrator generates 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 4 but does not
support SNMP Get and Set operations because VMware ESXi 4 does not
provide the required SNMP support. You can use the VMware vSphere CLI to
configure a system running VMware ESXi 4 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 www.vmware.com/support.
