Imagine 2 vCenter 5.5 servers belonging to 2 different and separate vSphere infrastructures in 2 different LANs.
Both vCenter servers are based on Windows Server 2008 R2 servers not member of any Active Directory Domain.
On both servers I enabled SNMP Receiver 2 and provided the IP address of an Ubuntu box (one for each LAN).
On the Ubuntu boxes I installed SNMP and I can use snmpwalk to query other SNMP enabled devices.
When I issue the following command:
snmpwalk -c public <vCenter IP address>
or:
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <vCenter IP address>
I get:
snmpwalk: Timeout
I strongly suspect I missed some relevant step.
Should I enable SNMP in Windows?
Should I do anything else?
How can I troubleshoot the problem?
