Overview

The option Operations -> Re-simulate Values is used to simulate the value of the newly added groups in the MIB without modifying the existing configuration. Values will be re-simulated only for newly added Scalar/Table groups and not for new nodes added inside the existing groups in the MIB.

To re-simulate values, the existing configuration file must be loaded in the SNMP Agent Simulator only after making the necessary modifications.

Enabling the Option

To re-simulate values, follow the steps given below :

Load the existing configuration file of the modified RFC1213 MIB in SNMP Agent Simulator.
Choose Operations -> Resimulate Values.
The values of the newly added scalar/table groups
will be simulated and added to the existing configuration file.

Note:

The option to Re-simulate values is not supported for SNMP devices in Network Designer.
The new scalar/table nodes must be added only at the end of the MIB file to avoid OID conflict with already existing groups.

Example

You have a simulated configuration of the RFC 1213-MIB, wherein you have added large number of data to the

configuration. The configuration is saved as sample_main.xml in ./snmpagents/sample directory.

Now, you have defined a new table group say "xxxTable" to this MIB, available in ./snmpagents/sample directory and you want to simulate this table alone and add it to the existing configuration file.

You can do this by loading the sample_main.xml file in the SNMP Agent Simulator and selecting the option Operations -> Resimulate Values. The xxxTable values will be added to the existing configuration.
