The SNMP Simulator was specially built to help test SNMP Managers against a large number of SNMP Agents.
SNMP Simulator is a tool that acts as a multitude of real physical devices from a SNMP Manager's point of view.
SNMP Simulator is an Open Source utility and was designed with the help of the Python programming language.
Here are some key features of "SNMP Simulator":
· SNMPv1/v2c/v3 support
· USM supports MD5/SHA auth and DES/AES/3DES/AES256 privacy
· Can run over IPv4 and/or IPv6 transports
· May vary response based on transport protocol/source/destination
· SNMP Agent snapshot tool included
· Can run simulation based on MIB files
Requirements:
· Python
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
Major overhaul aimed at adding value variation features to the Simulator core:
· data files may now hold not only terminal OIDs but also OID subtrees
· pluggable value variation modules interfaces and basic modules added
· write support added through the use of appropriate variation modules
· SQL backend for keeping and modifying SNMP snapshots added in form of a value variation module
· subprocess execution variation module added what could be used for external process invocation on SNMP request to Simulator
· SNMP Notification Originator variation module added what could be used for sending SNMP TRAP/INFORM messages to SNMP entities on SNMP requests to Simulator
· SNMP snapshots now being called 'data files' rather than 'device files' which is a legacy term.
· Data files and variation modules are now installed into Python package directory to ease package distribution across platforms.
