To use SNMP, you must first configure the SNMP settings of the vCenter Server.
Prerequisites
Verify that you are connected
to a
vCenter
Server
system.
Procedure
1 | View the current SNMP configuration settings of the vCenter Server from the $srv variable. Get-AdvancedSetting –Entity $srv –Name snmp.*
|
2 | Modify the SNMP receiver data. Get-AdvancedSetting –Entity $srv –Name snmp.receiver.2.community | Set-AdvancedSetting –Value public
Get-AdvancedSetting –Entity $srv –Name snmp.receiver.2.enabled | Set-AdvancedSetting –Value $true
Get-AdvancedSetting –Entity $srv –Name snmp.receiver.2.name | Set-AdvancedSetting –Value 192.168.1.10
