Install the RCLI on a pc/laptop/server. Got to the command prompt and enable SNMP.
vicfg-snmp.pl –server <your_host> -t snmptrapsystem@port/community -c communitystring
(@port is optional in this command) – you can also set the community with the -c switch
vicfg-snmp.pl –server <your_host> -E = enable the service
vicfg-snmp.pl –server <your_host> -E = stop the service
vicfg-snmp.pl –server <your_host> -T = test your setup
vicfg-snmp.pl –server <your_host> -s = show your setup
vicfg-snmp.pl –server <your_host> -r = reset your config
(tested on a 4.1 ESXi host)
