If you are trying to add a VMWare server and are getting a time out error please be sure that the SNMP service is running on the VMWare machine by doing the following.

  1. SSH into the VMWare 3.5 server and run the following..../etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd status
  2. If it is not running you will need to start the service by entering the following .... /etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd start
  3. To enable it to work through the firewall please do the following....esxcfg-firewall -e snmpd
  4. This will give you the status of forwarding SNMP through the firewall...esxcfg-firewall -q snmpd
    5. Top
