How to enable SNMP on ESXi 5 / 5.5 / 6
There are a few steps involved in getting SNMP functional on ESXi. They go something like this.
- Set the SNMP community string
- Enable the SNMP service
- Add necessary firewall rules
- Enable the added firewall rule
- Restart the SNMP daemon
esxcli system snmp set –communities PUBLIC
esxcli system snmp set –enable true
esxcli network firewall ruleset set –ruleset-id snmp –allowed-all true
esxcli network firewall ruleset set –ruleset-id snmp –enabled true
You can change the firewall rule to only allow a specific subnet or host if you would like to.
esxcli network firewall ruleset set –ruleset-id snmp –allowed-all false
esxcli network firewall ruleset allowedip add –ruleset-id snmp –ip-address <SNMP HOST >
esxcli network firewall ruleset set –ruleset-id snmp –enabled true
