Hi Santosh,

 

Follows these steps that i copied from a website.  Should be ok.

 

Some people have asked how to enable SNMP on ESXi 5.  The process is identical to how you would on ESXi 4.x.  Here’s how:

1.Connect to your vMA instance through Putty, SecureCRT or whatever app you use.
2.Add the server:  vifp addserver vs-esxi.vsential.com (This is only needed if you haven’t already added the target!)

3.Set your target:  vifptarget -s vs-esxi.vsential.com
4.Configure SNMP Community:  vicfg-snmp –communities vscomname
5.Configure SNMP Trap Host:  vicfg-snmp –targets TrapHostIP@161/vscomname
6.Enable SNMP on the ESXi host:  vicfg-snmp –enable
You can show the configuration by typing:  vicfg-snmp –show

That’s it…now you can snmpwalk the host from the Trap host you configured earlier by typing:  snmpwalk -v2c -cvscomname vs-esxi.vsential.com

You can check out VMware KB Article 1008065 for information on how to configure this as well which uses VMware vSphere RCLI instead of the vMA.
