Enable SNMP on ESXI host

Hello,

I am having a problem with setting up/testing snmp from esxi 5.5 host(10.0.0.1) to vmserver(10.0.0.8) OpenManage Essentials.

 SNMP on host serve is setup correct(set to target 10.0.0.8) as I am getting response when running Dell Troubleshooting tool.

 When testing in OME(forwarder setup to 10.0.0.8) by running test not receiving any alerts in console. This should be simple and straightforward but it doesn’t look that way. Can you help please?

Thanks
 Julian

Hi Julian,

Please try restarting SNMP trap service followed by restarting all OME services. Assuming Troubleshooting tool is sitting on OME machine and receiving all traps as expected, a restart as suggested will fix the issue.

Note: Following KB article for detailed information on configuring all purpose SNMP for ESXi.
