Enabling snmp on esxi 5.5¶
This is for version 2c.
esxcli system snmp set --communities STRING
esxcli system snmp set --port 161
esxcli system snmp set -e true
esxi firewalling¶
esxcli network firewall ruleset set --ruleset-id snmp --allowed-all false
esxcli network firewall ruleset allowedip add --ruleset-id snmp --ip-address IP_ADDRESS/MASK
esxcli network firewall ruleset set --ruleset-id snmp --enabled true

Troubleshooting¶
This knowledge base article helped with a few mischevious systems.
A lot of information came from here
snmp stuff¶
Dumping some stuff here until I figure out a better place for it.
