OBJECT IDENTIFIER
.1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.70.1.1
vmwESX40xRelease 4.0.x for VMware ESX. The SNMP agent is now part of the hostd process
Unknown
.1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.70.1.1.1
vmwESX41xRelease 4.1.x for VMware ESX, the SNMP agent is now a subsystem in the hostd process on ESXi.
Unknown
.1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.70.1.1.2
vmwESX50xRelease 5.0.x for VMware ESXi. The SNMPv1/v2c agent is a subsystem in the hostd process
Unknown
.1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.70.1.1.3
vmwESX51xRelease 5.1.x for VMware ESXi supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 with a stand-alone snmpd process. This agent supports read-only protocol operations. This implies that configuring the SNMPv3 Agent can not be done via SET operations. Hence IETF standard SNMPv3 agent configuration mibs are not provided. SNMPv3 protocol is fully supported once configured via the CLI command interface (esxcli system snmp) command set or host profiles. Lastly this SNMP agent provides one read-only view of the entire system to which all SNMPv3 users configured are assigned.
Unknown
.1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.70.1.1.4
vmwESX55Release 5.5 for VMware ESXi supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 with a stand-alone snmpd process. This release features support for monitoring multiple IP Stacks. The standard IP-MIB, UDP-MIB, and TCP-MIB may be used with a context set to the IP Stack Name as found in ENTITY-MIB entLogicalTable or via command: esxcli network ip netstack list An example using net-snmp's snmpwalk command:: snmpwalk -v2c -n defaultTcpipStack ip No vDR instrumentation is yet available. This agent supports read-only protocol operations. This implies that configuring the SNMPv3 Agent can not be done via SET operations. Hence IETF standard SNMPv3 agent configuration mibs are not provided. The SNMPv3 protocol is fully supported once configured via the CLI command interface (esxcli system snmp) command set or vCenter Server host profiles. Lastly this SNMP agent provides one read-only view of the entire system to which all SNMPv3 users configured are assigned.

.1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.70.1.1.5
vmwESX60xRelease 6.0 for VMware ESXi supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 with a stand-alone snmpd process. Only Minor changes and bug fixes in this release of the SNMP Agent. No vDR instrumentation is yet available. This agent supports read-only protocol operations. This implies that configuring the SNMPv3 Agent can not be done via SET operations. Hence IETF standard SNMPv3 agent configuration mibs are not provided. The SNMPv3 protocol is fully supported once configured via the CLI command interface (esxcli system snmp) command set or vCenter Server host profiles. Lastly this SNMP agent provides one read-only view of the entire system to which all SNMPv3 users configured are assigned.
