MIMIC SNMP Agent Simulator creates a network of up to 50,000 SNMP-manageable devices. You can create any SNMP-based device with any number of public or private MIBs to run a large variety of device configurations with your SNMP management application. It lets you generate thousands of traps to simulate disaster scenarios.

• MIMIC simulated devices respond to SNMPv1, SNMPv2C and SNMPv3 queries.
• It appears to the SNMP Network Management Application as if it is talking to actual devices.
• Each device has its own IP (or IPv6) address, independent read and write SNMPv1 community strings or SNMPv3 USM and VACM parameters, and notion of uptime.
• Devices can be configured at run-time, both on an individual and collective basis.

MIMIC Discovery Wizard can record your production network or test lab with thousands of real-world devices to simulate them and multiply many times. MIMIC MIB Wizard can compile any number of MIBs, in any order at the same time.

MIMIC ships with a large number of pre-compiled MIBs, networks and devices from the leading networking companies.

A suite of predefined scenarios is provided to investigate all the possibilities you can face in your mission-critical environment. For example, network down, router down, a range of traffic conditions over a shorter period of time.

Supported Platforms: Windows®, Solaris, Linux and Virtual Machines. (details)

1. Multiple Agents in One Box

• Family of SNMP simulators with a variety of sizes geared to any budget.
• Simulate up to 50,000 SNMP agent instances on one computer.
• Each agent instance has its own IP (or IPv6) addresses on any subnet.
• Each SNMPv1 agent has independent read and write SNMP community strings.
• Each SNMPv3 agent has independent USM and VACM parameters.
• Each agent instance has its own notion of uptime, eg. one can be running for 100 days, while another has just started.

• Select any subset of supported MIBs for each agent instance.
• Use any of the 2000+ pre-compiled MIBs for devices from the leading networking companies.
• Run any mix of the supplied actual device simulations from the device library, among them are Cisco, Lucent, Nortel, Marconi, Alcatel, 3Com and many more.
• Build your own SNMP simulation.

• Configure each agent instance individually or collectively.
• Control each MIB object instance of each agent instance independently or as relationships.

• Add any MIB to the SNMP simulation by compiling it with the MIMIC Compiler
• Create basic simulations of actual devices with the MIMIC Recorder
• Extend the simulation with standard scripting languages.
• Customize the simulations with a powerful simulation language.

• Use the MIB browser to manipulate each MIB object simulation independently at run-time.
• Configure the simulation via batch scripts for automated regression testing or hands-off product demonstration.
• Pause simulations to investigate a particular problem, and resume at any point in time.

• Configure arrival rate, cutoff time, variable values, etc. on a per trap basis in real-time and generate trap storms.
• Take snapshots with the Trap Wizard to replicate exact trap sequences.

• Take snapshots of real world scenarios and simulate them almost immediately.
• Discover large networks with Discovery Wizard.
• Create dynamic simulations over time with Snapshot Wizard.
