Introduction to SNMP Simulator

SNMP (Simple Network Management) simulator software is intended for testing SNMP managers against a huge number of SNMP agents that depict a potentially extremely large network colonized with different types of SNMP-competent devices. General use for SNMP simulator software begins with either ready devices provided with the simulator or recording the test lab or production network. Another alternative is to create a simulation from MIB files....

SNMP Traps – How Can Your Resolve Them

To manage network and IT infrastructure properly, one requires capturing and examining packets of information sent on the networks, known as SNMP traps. These are PDUs (protocol data units) sent by diverse systems, devices and agents on the network utilizing the SNMP protocols and contain info regarding events occurring to those systems. This information is very important to a network manager and it is essential that a capable NMS (network management...
