The SNMP Agent Simulator is an intuitive, easy-to-use GUI tool
that enables simulation of standalone SNMP agents.
Overview
The SNMP Agent Simulator enables simulation of standalone SNMP
agents to test and demonstrate SNMP-based management applications.
Its unique ability to create default values from any SMI-compliant
MIB or record variables from an existing agent and create variations
on this basic simulation enables rapid simulation of SNMP devices.
All SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 operations (Get / GetNext / GetBulk
/ Set / Traps / Notifications) are supported.
The advanced modeling of SNMP agent behavior and trap generation
can be done with ease using Jython-based scripts. The SNMP agent
simulator combined with the SNMP Trap Stormer and SNMP Trap Recorder
provides a complete suite for testing SNMP manager applications.
SNMP Agent Simulator Features and Benefits
| Features
|
Benefits
|
| User Customization
of SNMP Agent Values |
SNMP agent responses can be configured in the UI or at
runtime through scripts or using RMI. Device values can
be made to remain constant or vary based on the simulation
type configured. SNMP Agent Simulator supports Constant,
Random, Linear, Wave, Exponential, Sine Wave simulation
types.
|
| Multilingual Support
|
Supports complete SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 agent simulation.
Allows easy configuration of SNMPv3 user entries with the
help of SNMPv3 configuration tool.
|
| Record and Replay
of SNMP Agents |
Allows to record and replay real SNMP
agent values to create simulations of actual SNMP devices.
Any variation on this basic simulation can be created for
use with the SNMP Agent Simulator. Read
more.. |
| Record and Replay
of SNMP Traps |
Allows to record
and replay SNMP v1 and SNMPv2c traps. The traps can be
replayed in the SNMP agent simulator as request-based, threshold-based
or time-based traps. Read more.. |
| SNMP Trap/Inform
Generation |
Allows to configure and generate request-based, threshold-based
and timer-based SNMPv1,v2,v3 traps and SNMPv2,v3 informs.
The SNMP Simulator also allows to generate default traps
defined in the MIB.
|
| Behavior Simulation
|
Simulates behavior using Jython scripts to model
SNMP agent behavior and express inter-relationships
among MIB variables. Powerful built-in SNMP script APIs
can be used to format SNMP agent responses and trap messages.

|
| SNMP PDU Customization
|
Supports customizing the request and response SNMP PDU
to send garbled/invalid responses to test the SNMP managers'
robustness in the event of receiving bad packets. The PDU
scrambler also provides access to the SNMP script API
methods. Read more..
|
| SNMP Error Simulation
|
Supports simulation of SNMPv1, SNMPv2, SNMPv3 error conditions
from UI or using scripts.
|
| SNMP Trap Stormer
|
Generates SNMPv1,
SNMPv2 trap storms at burst and normal modes to test the
reliability of the management application for receiving /
processing of SNMP traps over a specified time interval or
at the burst mode. Read more.. |
| SNMP
Proxy Agent Simulation |
Enables simulation
of multiple SNMP v1 and SNMPv2c agents running at the
same port with different community strings. Read more.. |
| SNMP
Agent Management through RMI |
Provides means to manage
the simulated SNMP agent values and traps via RMI (Remote
Method Invocation) to have a good control over the simulated
environment. Read more.. |
| User-Friendly
GUI Display |
The SNMP Agent Simulator provides an extremely user-friendly
graphical interface that makes the simulator very easy to
work with and offers you the complete SNMP agent simulation
experience. The SNMP MIB Browser tool facilitates complete
testing of the simulated agent.
|
| Value Added Features
|
Offers other value added features such as logging error
messages, command line utilitis to start/stop the simulated
SNMP agent for automated testing.
|
SNMP Agent Simulation Experience
The SNMP Agent Simulator offers a simplified and complete SNMP
agent simulation experience. The following diagram depicts this
functionality offered by the SNMP Agent Simulator.
The SNMP Agent Simulator can simulate an SNMPv1, SNMPv2, SNMPv3
agent in three simple steps:
1. Load any SMI-compliant MIB(s) in the SNMP Agent Simulator
and create a basic simulation of the SNMP agent.
2.Create variations on this basic simulation by recording
real SNMP agents; configuring MIB values, SNMP traps and informs
; configurng jython scripts, simulating SNMP error conditions,
and so on.
3. Start the SNMP agent at the specified port and test
the SNMP manager application.
