ESX 3.5 on Dell 2950 - How to setup SNMP remotely

HI All

Our ESX server is in out datacenter. I want to setup SNMP to that we can monitor the server. How would I go about doing that. I do not see any way to see this from the vmware infrastructure client. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

You need to configure snmpd.conf to get traps from OpenManage. You need to configure VMware snmp agent using escfg-snmp. You can refer this document: http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/solutions/installing_dell_openmanage_on_esx.pdf
