Unable to enable SNMP on my ESX 5.0 machine

Hi,

  Can some one guide me how to enable SNMP on my ESX Server 5.0.

  I tried to follow the steps provide in the VMware documentation but I cannot find SNMP option in the Configuration-->Security Profile-->Properties.

  attached the screenshot for reference.

I tired to enable the service on cmd line via putty by giving /etc/init.d/snmpd start but I could not find snmpd under the /etc/init.d as below.

/etc/vmware # /etc/init.d/s

/etc/init.d/sensord        /etc/init.d/slpd

/etc/init.d/sfcbd          /etc/init.d/storageRM

/etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog

/etc/vmware # /etc/init.d/

Let me know if any work around available for me to enable SNMP.

Thanks in advance,

Ravi

U cant enable SNMP on ESXi because the full SNMP package was removed due to the removment of the "Red Hat" management cosnole

the old ESX installation howerver have the full package.

ESXi can send snmp traps though
