Receiver URL - 192.168.1.130 (or localhost), port 162 and Community string - public <br /> <p /> (e) The two MIB files 'VMWARE-ROOT-MIB' and 'VMWARE-TRAPS-MIB' where compiled, saved in SMI directory in the MG-soft MIB borwser management software <br /> <p /> Problem statement: <br /> <p /> 1) When I try to contact the SNMP agent in 192.168.1.130 from the SNMP management software it fails. There is a 'contact snmp agent' option in this MG-Soft MIB browser (with SNMP v1, v2 and v3 options) which will allow u to chek if the snmp agent is running or not. <br /> <p /> 2) Neither am I receiving any traps from the virtual center. Say for instance when I update the 'hostname' or 'VM' name I dont receive traps in the MG-Soft MIB browser, which I guess am supposed to. <br /> <p /> Questions: <br /> <p /> 1) I doubt if the SNMP agent for virtual center is running in my windows XP unit, is there any process which I can track in the taskmanager which suggests that this agent is actually running ? <br /> <p /> 2) Is there any more configuration that I need to do on the virtual center to enable and receive snmp traps. <br /> <p /> <p /> <p /> PS: I am not talking about traps from ESX server here. I have not ventured into configuring ESX server traps. I am looking out to contact the snmp agent in the Virtual center server. <br /> <p /> <p /> <p /> Any help in this regard will be GREATLY APPRECIATED <img class="jive-emoticon" border="0" src="http://communities.vmware.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif" alt=":-)" /> <br /> <p /> <p /> <p /> Regards, <br /> <p /> CV Sun, 21 Jun 2009 05:32:01 GMT chennaivaasi http://communities.vmware.com/message/1290377?tstart=0#1290377 2009-06-21T05:32:01Z 5 months, 1 week ago
