In this article, we’ll\u00a0review the necessary information for how to configure SNMP v1 options in a VMware\u00a0vCenter Server Appliance. \u00a0If you’re reading this article, you likely already know what SNMP is, as well as how to utilize it. \u00a0If not, let me at least give you a brief intro, stating what it is and what it’s used for. \u00a0If you’re already familiar with SNMP, skip ahead to Configuring vCenter SNMP Options<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1. SNMP Introduction<\/h2>\n

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), as the name already indicates, is a network protocol (particularly an “application layer” protocol in the OSI networking model). \u00a0In a nutshell, it’s used to “get” information from networked devices and\/or to “send” information from one networked device to another.<\/p>\n

“Why would I use this protocol?” you might ask. \u00a0There are way too many examples to name, but I’ll list a couple of basic examples to help you become more familiar with why you might\u00a0use SNMP.<\/p>\n

Example 1:<\/em> \u00a0Where I work, I utilize a free piece of software called Spiceworks<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. \u00a0One of the features of this software is that it can query various devices on our network (switches, firewall, printers, etc) in order to “get” information about them. \u00a0Spiceworks utilizes SNMP to query all of the available information from each networked device that it communicates with.<\/p>\n

Example 2:<\/em> \u00a0We also have a centralized syslog server (Kiwi<\/a><\/strong><\/em>) that we “send” device information to; mostly event logs from our switches and firewalls.<\/p>\n

Now that I’ve reviewed what SNMP is, and you’ve seen a couple of examples for how it can be used, let’s look at how to configure SNMP in a vCSA. \u00a0The first thing you need to do is verify that you have appropriate access to the server (which will require enabling SSH).<\/p>\n

2. Verify that SSH is enabled<\/h2>\n

In order to verify this, you need to login to the admin web console of the vCSA. \u00a0This can be done by navigating to the following address via a web browser (substituting “<server_hostname><\/em>” with your appropriate server name):<\/p>\n

https:\/\/<server_hostname>:5480\/login.html<\/pre>\n
Login with the appropriate admin credentials and verify that SSH is enabled. \u00a0The default landing page in the web console is the “Summary” page. \u00a0To verify that SSH is enabled, click on “Access” in the menu at the left, then verify that “SSH login” is set to “Enabled”. \u00a0Refer to Figure 1 below:<\/p>\n
\"Figure<\/a>
Figure 1: Enabling SSH via the admin web console<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Now you’re ready to access the server via SSH and verify that you have appropriate shell access.<\/p>\n
3. Verify appropriate shell access via SSH<\/h2>\n
I won’t go into detail about\u00a0how to SSH into your server, but I’ll at least mention the free SSH client that I use:\u00a0PuTTY<\/a><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n
There are two types of shell prompts that you can utilize when managing a vCSA via an SSH session: \u00a0“BASH” or “appliance”. \u00a0Once you’ve successfully connected to your server, you’ll be starting your management session from whichever one of these shells has been set as the default. \u00a0When you’re at an appliance shell, it will look like what you see in Figure 2 below:<\/p>\n
\"Figure<\/a>
Figure 2: Connected via SSH to the appliance shell prompt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
If your prompt looks like what you see in Figure 2, you are already at the correct prompt and are ready to proceed to step 5<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n
If your shell prompt does not<\/em> look like the picture in Figure 2, then your server has been configured to use\u00a0BASH as the default, which would look like this:<\/p>\n
<server_name>:~ #<\/pre>\n
If you’re at a BASH prompt, proceed to the next step in order to change the default shell.<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0Enabling the appropriate shell access on the server<\/h2>\n
If your SSH session defaults to a BASH prompt, you’ll need to change it so that it defaults to the appliance shell. \u00a0This can be done by typing the following command:<\/p>\n
chsh -s \/bin\/appliancesh root<\/pre>\n
After typing the above command, the only way to access the new default prompt is by logging out of your SSH session and logging back in. \u00a0This can be done by simply typing:<\/p>\n
logout<\/pre>\n
NOTE:<\/span><\/em> \u00a0As stated above, after changing the default shell from BASH to appliance, a logout is necessary in order to successfully access the appliance shell at the next logon session.<\/p>\n
<\/a>After you re-establish your SSH session and you’re at the\u00a0appliance shell, you’re ready to start configuring the SNMP options!<\/p>\n
5. Configuring vCenter SNMP Options<\/h2>\n
There are various SNMP options that can be configured, including ones that utilize extra security options, but as stated in the introduction of this article, I’ll be covering the options involving SNMP v1.<\/p>\n
NOTE:<\/em><\/span> \u00a0SNMP v1 (instead of v2 or v3) is the easiest to setup because it only requires the most basic of communities (“public”<\/em>). \u00a0However, it’s the least secure version of SNMP since it doesn’t utilize authentication\u00a0or any privacy controls. \u00a0With that said, if someone with true hacking skills has access to your network, SNMP configurations will likely be one of the least of your concerns.<\/p>\n
To check the current SNMP configuration at any time (either before or after making changes), you can type:<\/p>\n
snmp.get<\/pre>\n
You will see output similar to what’s displayed in Figure 3 below:<\/p>\n
\"Figure<\/a>
Figure 3: Current SNMP configuration info<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
5.1 Create an SNMP community<\/h3>\n
Before SNMP can even be enabled, the first thing you\u00a0need to do is create a “community”. \u00a0 Since we’re using SNMP v1 in this article, we’ll create the default community of “public”. \u00a0To do this, type the following command:<\/p>\n
snmp.set --communities public<\/pre>\n
5.2 Configure an SNMP trap<\/h3>\n
In the environment where I work, we have our vCSA configured to send SNMP trap data to our Kiwi syslog server. \u00a0If you’d like to configure a trap for your vCSA\u00a0to send its SNMP data to, this can be done by typing the following command (substitute <trap_server_ip> with your appropriate trap server’s IP):<\/p>\n
snmp.set --targets <trap_server_ip>@162\/public<\/pre>\n
NOTE 1:<\/em><\/span> \u00a0SNMP uses the default UDP port 161 for general SNMP messages and UDP port 162 for SNMP trap messages.<\/p>\n
NOTE 2:<\/em><\/span> \u00a0You can add multiple targets as well, separated by commas. \u00a0Here’s an example:<\/p>\n
snmp.set --targets <server_ip_1>@162\/public,<server_ip_2>@162\/public<\/pre>\n
5.3 Configure the logging level<\/h3>\n
NOTE:<\/em><\/span> \u00a0There are four levels of logging to choose from: \u00a0debug|info|warning|error<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0(“debug” has the highest level of verbosity, and “error” has the lowest).<\/p>\n
Set the logging level using the following command:<\/p>\n
snmp.set --loglevel debug<\/pre>\n
5.4 Enable SNMP<\/h3>\n
It’d be crazy to configure all of this and not have SNMP\u00a0enabled, so make sure that it’s enabled\u00a0by typing the following command:<\/p>\n
snmp.enabled<\/pre>\n
5.5 Send a test trap<\/h3>\n
The last thing left to do is to send a test trap to verify that the agent is configured correctly:<\/p>\n
snmp.test<\/pre>\n
You should see something similar to this if it was successful (see Figure 4 below):<\/p>\n
<\/a>

6. Summary<\/h2>\n
As you’ve hopefully learned from this article, first-time\u00a0SNMP configuration options in vCenter are not as hard or as complicated as they\u00a0may initially seem. \u00a0It\u00a0does however require understanding the basics of what SNMP can be used for, how to effectively manage\u00a0your vCenter server via SSH and the GUI web console, and how to properly leverage commands from the appliance shell in order to successfully configure vCenter SNMP options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I'm known for my passionate obsession of all things that interest me; particularly computers, video games (like Tetris), music, art, etc.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.systemcodegeeks.com","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/shueysworld","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/john-schuepbach-8278013","https:\/\/x.com\/Shuey187","http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Shuey187"],"url":"https:\/\/www.systemcodegeeks.com\/author\/john-schuepbach\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.systemcodegeeks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1986","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.systemcodegeeks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.systemcodegeeks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.systemcodegeeks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.systemcodegeeks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1986"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.systemcodegeeks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1986\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.systemcodegeeks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/207"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.systemcodegeeks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.systemcodegeeks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.systemcodegeeks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
