In this article, we will look at how to configure SNMP for VMware ESXi. Accompanying the post is a video demonstration covering the process. The following demonstration uses VMware ESXi 6.0 but should also be applicable to other versions. 1. Enable SSH access to your ESXi server and authenticate using admin credentials. 2. Enter the following commands: esxcli system snmp set --communities CC1ELab esxcli system snmp set --targets 192.168.1.10@161/snmpstring esxcli system snmp set --enable true 3. Verify SNMP by polling your ESXi server That's all there is to it! You can also check out the video demonstration below.    

In this article I want to demonstrate how too add signed certificates to the Firepower Management Center (FMC) using the CLI. If you've worked with the FMC for some time, you'll know that the GUI can be quite limited when it comes to the sort of information you enter before generating a CertificateCSR. In fact a particular use case for wanting to use the CLI to generate CSR's for the FMC is when you want to issue the same certificate to more than one FMC. As it stands today there isn't a way to accommodate this use case via the GUI an although possible, this request can only be fulfilled by using the CLI. With that, in this article we will focus on how we can fulfill the mentioned requirement and have one certificate issued for more than one FMC. We will have our internal CA (Microsoft Server) issue an internal signed certificate that will be imported to both FMC's.
