Snmp Devices Emulation

SNMP devices emulation

Thank you for your answers. Here's the way we solve this problem right now:

1. We have a linux VM up with 1 interface (eth0).
2. We add 50'000 virtual interfaces (eth0:1, eth0:2 etc).
3. An SNMP daemon is up and replies on requests through all the ip addresses.

This way we have 50K IP adresses in the network that reply to SNMP requests.

Though, I'm investigating Raddle. Maybe if it suits we'll switch to this solution.

Thanks,
Bogdan

Free SNMP simulator tools?

It's not so handy but I used tu use the Net-SNMP open source SNMP server. you can simulate part of MIBS with script code or EXE files. It represents some work, but it's doable. I don't know about open source simulator.

Get SNMP enabled devices to test my app in public network

You can get the public ip which are snmp enabled by various network tools.

PacketTrap pt360 ToolSuite is one of those

Need to mimic a router to test a SNMP monitor

You can simulate the Cisco router using http://www.ipflow.utc.fr/index.php/Cisco_7200_Simulator or Juniper router with Olive from JuniperClue. But this is maybe too much overhead.

The other option is simulating the SNMP agent only, which is already answered in
SNMP devices emulation.
