Configuring Your System To Send Traps To A Management Station

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 for SNMP traps to be sent to a management station.

To 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 where the VMware vSphere CLI is installed.
Change to the directory where the VMware vSphere CLI is installed. The default location on Linux is /usr/bin. The default location on Windows is C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin .
Run the following command: vicfg-snmp.pl --server <server> --username <username> --password <password> -c <community> -t <hostname> @162/<community>
where <server> is the hostname or IP address of the ESXi system, <username> is a user on the ESXi system, <community> is the SNMP community name and <hostname> is the hostname or IP address of the management station.
- NOTE: The extension .pl is not required on Linux.
- NOTE: If you do not specify a user name and password, you are prompted.

The SNMP trap configuration takes effect immediately without restarting any services.
