snmp

[WERFVB]

I want to open snmp services on esx but I'm getting the error below

Call "HostServiceSystem.Start" for object "serviceSystem" on ESXi "10.10.20.10" failed.

did you try it from ESXi shell

esxcli system snmp set --communities YOUR_STRING

esxcli system snmp set --enable true

esxcli network firewall ruleset set --ruleset-id snmp --allowed-all true

esxcli network firewall ruleset set --ruleset-id snmp --enabled true

/etc/init.d/snmpd restart
