SNMP ESXi 4.1.2 configuration

[zenariga]

Hello guys I need to configure more 3 targets in my SNMP configuration. How I perform that?

I have the command:

vicfg-snmp.pl --server host.example.com --username root --password password -t target.example.com@162/public

I need to run this command 3 times or I use commas to insert all targets?

Anyone knows?

thanks.

Multiple targetes are separated by commas.

Didn't work using commas. My snmp.xml file don't appear any target

/etc/vmware # cat snmp.xml

<config>

  <snmpSettings>

    <communities>erinyes</communities>

    <enable>false</enable>

    <targets/>

  </snmpSettings>

/etc/vmware #

Just tested the below string.

vicfg-snmp.pl --server <esx_host_name> --username root -t 1.1.1.1@162/public,2.2.2.2@162/public

/etc # cat /etc/vmware/snmp.xml
<config>
  <snmpSettings>
    <communities/>
    <enable>false</enable>
    <targets>1.1.1.1@162 public;2.2.2.2@162 public</targets>
  </snmpSettings>
</config>/etc #

You better write a script for this. That will give result.

Hello thanks for your reply. Only work after I copy a new snmp.xml file with configurations in blank.

I already edited the file using one target.

Thanks.
