• vicfg-snmp fails against vCenter

  I have vCenter 5.0.0 build 455964 and ESXi 5.0.0 build 702118.

  I used

  vicfg-snmp - Server esx-1 - user name root - c public - enable to configure SNMP on one of my hosts.

  Enter the password:

  Evolution Community list to: public...
  All.
  Clearance agent...
  All.

  I can show the settings with

  vicfg-snmp - Server esx-1 - username root s

  Enter the password:

  Current settings of the SNMP agent:

  Activated: 1

  UDP port: 161

  Communities:

  public

  Targets of notification:

  viperl@162/public

  Options:

  EnvEventSource = details

  When I try to show the seetting using vCenter and vihost it fails.

  vihost - vicfg-snmp esx - 1.example.com - server vcenter - 1.example.com - username Administrator s

  Enter the password:

  SNMP system is not available on this system.

  My ultimate goal is to write a script which check SNMP on each host ESXi in a vCenter.  I noticed vmwarevSphereSecurityHardeningReportCheck.pl does not collect information either.  Any help?

  Hello

  vicfg-snmp is supported only when running against an ESXi host, it is not supported when you connect to vCenter Server and that's why when you run my script Security Hardening against vCenter, there is no info. You need to run directly against a host to get the SNMP details. The reason for this is that the snmpSystem for a host is not accessible via the vSphere API when connecting to vCenter Server

• vSphere CLI: error: unknown command

  This could be as simple as just something I miss, but since I do not use the CLI much at all, I thought I'd ask just. I can connect to the CLI, but any command I use the host responds just with either "< command > not found" or when you use vSphere CLI "error: unknown command or namespace.

  I even tried connecting through my server vCenter Server and then go out to the host by using the command - vihost, that works, but I still get the error that the command I try to use it recognized.

  vSphere CLI

  You must run this command from the prompt (not hull as shown above) vSphere CLI commands and make sure the bin is in your path. Otherwise that run from here;

  It seems that the orders have changed. See: https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vcli/vcli51/vsp5_51_vcli_relnotes.html

  New esxcli system snmp namespace replaces vicfg-snmp orders. The following commands have been added.

  • esxcli system snmp get | hash | set | test

• No VMWare SNMP subagent running

  Hi people,

  I just installed ESX4 and I'm tryimng to configure my snmpd.conf to allow monitoring nagios host in.

  I was running from ESX 3.5 with this file snmpd.conf

  # Sample snmpd.conf containing the entries of the VMware MIB module.
  # This is a simple snmpd.conf that can help you test SNMP.
  # It is not recommended for production use. Consult the
  pages of snmpd.conf (5) # to implement a secure facility.

  sysLocation room1 (edit snmpd.conf)

  # Add/Remove the following entries.
  DLMod SNMPESX /usr/lib/vmware/snmp/libSNMPESX.so
  ~
  ~
  'snmpd.conf' 15L, 530C

  Now that I have installed ESX4 the snmpd.conf file is very different, so I renamed and put the above in place.

  It doesn't work and I get an error indicating ".

  "Error: no VMWare SNMP subagent (vmware-snmpd) running"

  I am not very practical when it comes to this particular configuration... any suggestions?

  What the default snmpd.conf file looks, but I wasn't sure what I should change...

  You must enable SNMP using the rcli vicfg-snmp command. http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_rcli.PDF

• Failed: error. RestrictedVersion.summary

  The command: vicfg-snmp - server & lt; ESX_IP_Address & gt; username - root - password & lt; password & gt; -c & lt; nom_de_communaute & gt; t & lt; Destination of interruption & gt;@162/ & lt; nom_de_communaute & gt;

  Error: "failure: fault.» RestrictedVersion.summary ".

  Above gives me problems, when I try to start "snmp" on Esxi 4.0 version free of charge, as suggested by this link http://communities.vmware.com/thread/151296 I might have a bad or defective license so that it works.

  Ive tried to get an answer from VM-Ware so I have actually not the appropriate license for the use of the SNMP on a free version or if infact it may have something to do with the fact that I installed with the customized version of Dell free esxi 4.0

  I was given a license key for free installation when I downloaded ESXI and I put that key in the server as follows

  Product: ESXi 4 Server unique registered for 2 physical processors (1-6 cores per processor)

  License key: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

  Expires: never

  Product features:

  Up to 256 GB of memory

  Up to 4-way virtual SMP

  Can someone give me an answer to this?

  1. is it possible to start SNMP on ESXI 4.0 free version using "VMware vSphere CLI?

  2 should I a different license for this?

  Best regards

  Bobo

  The reason is explained here, and it applies as well to ESXi 4.0: http://vmetc.com/2009/03/31/esxi-u4-ends-free-version-read-and-write-access-from-the-rcli/

  The license that you are subscribed is simply the 'free' version, it does not have any type of management remotely using the vCLI or PowerCLI tools. You can enable SNMP using the vSphere Client in which you can get for free by pointing your browser to the ESXi host, you have built and download it and install it on a Windows System.

• Cisco SG300 SNMP with cacti

  I installed Cacti on ubuntu 14.04 and I'm trying to add a Cisco sg300.

  If the switch is configured like this:
  Server SNMP My Office location
  SNMP Server contact [email protected] / * /
  SNMP community - server MyC0mmun1ty ro 192.168.10.25 view by default

  I then in the settings of the device

  SwitchName Description
  The switch ip host name

  Cisco to host model router
  number of threads 1
  disable the unchecked host

  shot detection snmp device operating time
  ping timeout 400
  try again to pin 1

  SNMP version 2
  Community SNMP MyC0mmun1ty
  SNMP port 161
  SNMP timeout 500
  OIDs maximum 10

  from the cactus Server (192.168.10.25) if I have
  Nmap - sU Pei 161 switch ip of see:
  161/udp snmp open

  also on the sg300 I had to enable snmp in the security settings where ssh/telnet etc. is and have saved the config.

  But watch the cactus
  SNMP information
  SNMP error

  OK, I suggest you enable the SNMP agent on unrestricted IP switch, IE replace command:

   snmp-server community MyC0mmun1ty ro 192.168.10.25 view Default

  with the command:

   snmp-server community MyC0mmun1ty ro view Default

  and again snmpwalk. If it will work now, your SNMP to Cacti server applications are sourcing from another IP than 192.168.10.25 (your Cacti server configured several IP?).

• vicfg-orders are not

  Hi all, I am trying to configure SNMP on my 5.0 host but unfortunately vicfg-commands are not found. can I know how to activate it?

  Hi dhanarajramesh,

  vicfg-* commands are not part of the ESXi 5.0 installation. You need VMware vSphere CLI (vCLI). This must be installed on a client computer running Windows or Linux OS.

  You can download this from:

  https://my.VMware.com/group/VMware/details?downloadGroup=VCLI50U1&ProductID=229

  Below of KB has a few examples of how using the vicfg-snmp commands to configure SNMP on ESXi host.

  VMware KB: Configure SNMP interruptions in ESXi/ESX

  I hope this helps.

• Multiple SNMP IP addresses on the ESX host

  Can anyone offer some advice?

  You send messages in the forum ESX 3.5, but talk about vSphere 5.1!

  In any case, advice on http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/esx_3i_rcli/vicfg-snmp.php could help.

• SNMP does not

  We have a problem with a couple of ESXi hosts that do not respond to SNMP.

  They are clean installed ESXi 5.0 build 768111

  Material:

  Reference Dell R910 (no VIB Dell installed, works with or without).

  Standard configuration of the SNMP via VMware CLI:

  VMware vSphere CLI > vicfg - snmp.pl - the esx01 - username the server - password aaaaaaaaaaaa - c public root

  Evolution Community list to: public...
  All.
  
  
  VMware vSphere CLI > vicfg - snmp.pl - esx01 - username root - password aaaaaaaaaaaa - activate

  Clearance agent...

  All.

  Firewall is open. Ask to come, but there is a lot on the receive queue when checking 'netstat' SNMP (port 161)

  list ip # esxcli network connection

  Send a Proto Recv Q Q address local foreign address State ID world name

  -----  ------  ------  ------------------  -----------------  -----------  --------  ---------------

  TCP 0 0 127.0.0.1:8307 127.0.0.1:52518 ESTABLISHED 20681 worker spend

  TCP 0 0 127.0.0.1:52518 127.0.0.1:8307 ESTABLISHED 20882 worker spend

  TCP 0 0 127.0.0.1:60453 127.0.0.1:443 ESTABLISHED 20175 worker spend

  UDP 17967 0 0.0.0.0:161 0.0.0.0:0 20178 worker spend

  We restarted management agents, reset the configuration of snmp, reinstalled servers, but a couple of them will not work and get its queue.

  Any ideas?

  Can you run and view the results of the command of the option - show;

  vicfg - snmp.pl - esx01 - server - password aaaaaaaaaaaa root username - see the

  You should see something like this;

  ===============================

  Current settings of the SNMP agent:
  Activated: 1
  UDP port: 161

  Communities:
  public
  anothercommunity

  Targets of notification:
  mysnmptarget1. FQDN@162/public
  mysnmptarget2. FQDN@162/anothercommunity

  Options:
  EnvEventSource = sensors

  ===============================

  I have found that the option - enable command creates another firewall rule called "dynamicbinding" even if SNMP is already created by deault on own insall of ESXi 5.0 (I'd do it role it back and use PowerCLI to activate it).

  vicfg - snmp.pl - esx01 - username root - password aaaaaaaaaaaa - disable

  # Activate SNMP using PowerCLI (to connect to the host, not vCenter)
  Get-VMHostSnmp | Set-VMHostSnmp-enabled: $true

  # Add communities
  Get-VMHostSnmp | Game-VMHostSnmp - public ReadOnlyCommunity, anothercommunity

  # Add a target
  Get-VMHostSnmp | Game-VMHostSnmp - TargetCommunity "public" - "mysnmptarget1.fqdn" TargetPort TargetHost - 162 - AddTarget
  Get-VMHostSnmp | Game-VMHostSnmp - TargetCommunity 'anothercommunity' - 'mysnmptarget2.fqdn' TargetPort TargetHost - 162 - AddTarget

  In addition, on DELL hardware, I have found that for traps to be translated correctly "EnvEventSource" must change indications to the sensors.

  This will change

  vicfg - snmp.pl - the esx01 - username root of the server - sensors - hwsrc password aaaaaaaaaaaa

  Then, you can send a trap to test;

  vicfg - snmp.pl - esx01 - username root - password aaaaaaaaaaaa - test

  See you soon,.

• Target SNMP not registering not

  I use HPSIM to monitor our HP ProLiant servers and blades. I activated and configured SNMP on our ESXi v5 servers, but when I put the target for traps, my target (Server HPSIM) receives all the traps.

  After setting the target using VICFG-SNMP < connection stuffs > t hpsimserver@162/community, return messgae is tht, the goal has been fixed.

  The race-option VIEW, I see:

  Current settings of the SNMP agent:
  Activated: 1
  UDP port: 161

  Communities:
  myString

  Targets of notification:

  Options:
  EnvEventSource = details

  If I ssh to the server, the /etc/vmware/snmp.xml file displays the configured targets.

  I restarted SNMP and the server itself without change in French - VIEW the results.

  I used the June, HP build of VMware ESXi 5 CD to install this and many other servers, which all have the same problem with establishing goals SNMP.

  Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

  Your vicfg-snmp command has no effect, because Notification targets remain blank.

  It looks like this in our case and works very well with our HP SIM:

  # vicfg - snmp - s

  Current settings of the SNMP agent:

  Activated: 1

  UDP port: 161

  Communities:

  Community

  Targets of notification:

  x.x.x.x@162/community

  Options:

  EnvEventSource = details

  Try the following:

  vicfg-snmp - activate - target x.x.x.x@162/trapcommunity - communities

  (Try to use an IP address if it does not work with a DNS name)

  Use vicfg-snmp - test to send a test trap. Also, make sure the firewall of ESXi allows to send traps SNMP over UDP/162 and receive queries SNMP over UDP/161.

• Change default SNMP community?

  A scan of my ESXi machine security complained that I have 'public '.  I need to change that to something, but cannot find a /etc/snmpd.conf and it's really confusing, since ESXi does not support SNMP, reason for which there is no community at all?  A snmpwalk turns up a dozen lines of info, it seems that there is a snmpd, but this is not in /etc/init.d/ and put a config for it in/etc/sysconfig/so I'm at a loss.

  You do not want to use the RCLI for config SNMP http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/esx_3i_rcli/vicfg-snmp.php and the configuration file is etc/vmware/snmp.xml.  ESXi supports SNMP interruptions but not obtained.
