Hi dhanarajramesh,

vicfg-* commands are not a part of ESXi 5.0 installation. You require VMware vSphere CLI (vCLI). This needs to be installed on a client machine running Windows or Linux OS.

You can download this from:

Below KB has some examples of how to use the vicfg-snmp commands to configure SNMP on ESXi host.

VMware KB: Configuring SNMP Traps in ESXi/ESX

Hope this helps.
