How to Enable SNMPD on ESXi 6.5

I had some difficulties enabling SNMPD from the GUI on ESXi 6.5 and kept recieving the following error

Failed – An error occurred during host configuration

Quick search let me here.

Running the below steps listed at the above link allowed me to start SNMPD in the EXSi GUI without issue

esxcli system snmp set -r
esxcli system snmp set -c YOUR_STRING
esxcli system snmp set -p 161
esxcli system snmp set -L "City, State, Country"
esxcli system snmp set -C noc@example.com
esxcli system snmp set -e yes
