SNMP Agent Simulator

SNMP Agent Simulator will help you develop, test and train SNMP management applications without purchasing and maintaining expensive hardware devices. The app provides the necessary environment for organizing information about managed devices on IP networks and for modifying that information to change device behavior. Although SNMP devices have physical appliances, cable, modems, workstations, servers, etc. are not necessary.

The tool is intended for developers that need to test apps that work without real SNMP agents. Also, for training or demonstration purposes where only a laptop is necessary, avoiding bringing in the network devices.

Since it is written in pure Java, it can run on all the platforms that have Java Virtual Machine installed.

SNMP Agent Simulator provides severs agents for testing. Against as Linux, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, Sunfire V240, SunUltra250, etc; or switches like Cisco catalyst 6500 or 2900 and routers, Cisco 2621, 7204 routers.

After the agents were loaded, you can change their settings or editing the data files in order to bring the simulation to the desired status. You can record data and simulate it in different configurations

To conclude, SNMP Agent Simulator is a useful tool when it comes for testing SNMP based application.
