Using the simulator

Major Features

  • Ease of use
  • Record and replay SNMP devices

You can record SNMP agent MIB values to an XML file through the GUI or command-line interface. You can then edit the file to simulate different configurations.

  • Multiple agents in one JVM
  • Support for dynamic row creation and deletion
  • BeanShell scripts in data files can model real-time SNMP agent behavior
  • Trap simulation

The simulator can generate request-based, threshold-based, and timer-based SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 traps and informs. It can also simulate a trap storm.

  • Error simulation
  • Scalability

The number of agents a computer can run depends on its available resources.

  • Community/context indexing (different data for different communities or SNMPv3 contexts)

Release 1 adds scenarios, REST/Python control, OID overrides, fault simulation, and JSON/JUnit reports.
