Individual SNMP and TL1 devices in the network can be simulated with different agent values, traps and autonomous messages and behavior scripts. These will not be reflected on the devices in the template tree or the device tree.
You can configure MIB values, load and simulate new MIBs, record values from real agents, configure traps and behavior scripts on a SNMP device in the network. Configuring a SNMP device in the network is similar to configuring an SNMP device in the Device Tree.
Recording from Real Agent
To configure values of a real agent in your MIB, you can record values from the real agent and save this configuration. This configuration file, which is a simulation of a real agent, can be used in the network.
To enable the recording option,
Select the menu bar option Configure -> Record Real Agent Values or right-click on the device and select Record Values. The Record from Real Agent dialog is displayed .
Refer to the topic, Simulating an SNMP Agent -> Recording from Real Agents, to learn about the steps involved in recording.
Configuring SNMP Agent Values
You can configure scalar and table values for the MIB, configure simulation types, and perform table operations. To configure values,
Right-click on the device and select SNMP Agent Values or select Configure -> SNMP Agent Values. The Configure SNMP Agent Values dialog is displayed with the MIBs loaded in the MIB tree. You can load a new MIB using the Load MIBs button or unload an existing MIB using the Unload MIBs button. You can use the Simulate option to simulate the loaded MIBs.
Refer to the topic, Simulating an SNMP Agent -> Configuring Values for the MIB to learn about the steps involved in configuring MIB values and simulation types.
Refer to the topic, Simulating an SNMP Agent -> Populating the SNMP Table, to learn about the table operations supported.
Configuring Traps
You can configure the SNMP agents in the network so that the agent will send traps when it satisfies the specified condition. The following traps can be configured.
Request-based traps
Threshold-based traps
Timer-based traps
To configure traps,
Right-click on the device and select SNMP Traps or select Configure -> SNMP Traps. The Trap Configuration dialog is invoked.
Refer to the topic, Simulating an SNMP Agent -> Simulating Traps, to learn about the steps involved in trap configuration.
Configuring Informs
You can configure the SNMP agents in the network so that the agent will send informs when it satisfies the specified condition. The following informs can be configured.
Request-based informs
Threshold-based informs
Timer-based informs
To configure informs,
Right-click on the device and select SNMP -> Informs or select Configure -> SNMP Informs. The Inform Configuration dialog is invoked.
Refer to the topic, Simulating an SNMP Agent -> Simulating Informs, to learn about the steps involved in inform configuration.
Configuring Behavior Scripts
You can configure Real-Time Behavior of SNMP devices in the network, using Jython scripts. To configure behavior scripts,
Right-click on the device and select SNMP Behavior or select Configure -> SNMP Behavior. The Configure Behavior dialog is invoked.
Refer to the topic, Simulating a Network -> Configuring Behavior in SNMP Devices , to learn about the steps involved in behavior configuration.
You can configure values for the parameters defined in the TCS file, load and simulate new TCS files, configure scripts to define agent behavior, simulate delayed response, send error response and acknowledgment for specific responses, and configure echo requests.
Configuring a TL1 device in the network is similar to configuring a TL1 device in the Device Tree. Refer to the section Configuring a Device Added in Device Tree -> Configuring a TL1 Device, to learn more.
