Record and Replay Real Networks

The Network Recorder tool enables users to easily record a real network. The recorder creates the simulation of the real SNMP network, by capturing a snapshot of the devices, with an snmpwalk.

• Any number of target devices can be recorded simultaneously by providing the starting and ending IP address.
• The recorded network can be saved in Database format and replayed instantly in the Network Designer.
• The recorded configuration can also suitably be modified to create test configuration variations.

  

Record and Replay Real Agents

The Real Agent Recording Wizard enables users to record a real SNMP agent by capturing a “snapshot” of the device MIB in actual operation. Only one agent can be recorded at a time.

• Any subnet of the device MIB objects can be recorded. For example, if you require the configuration of only a small part of the MIB, only the relevant MIB subtrees can be recorded.
• The recorded configuration can be saved in Database format and replayed in the SNMP Agent Simulator/Network Simulator.
• The recorded configuration can also suitably be modified to create test configuration variations.

Record and Replay Traps

The Trap Recorder records SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c traps by listening for traps at the specified port. All the traps sent to the port will be recorded and displayed.

• The output of the trap recorder will give you the traps in the order they were received, with timestamps and the variables included in the trap PDU.
• The recorded traps can be stored in XML files and replayed in the SNMP agent simulator and network simulator as request-based, threshold-based or time-based traps.
