Abstract

Network Management (NMS) application vendors, often encounter a situation where the device being managed or tested (which includes an SNMP agent) is not available at the time of the NMS application development, whereupon this becomes the critical path in the development cycle of the new device. To shorten this critical path, we've developed GeNMSim, which is a Tcl/Tk based Multi Platform SNMP agent simulator. The main features of GeNMSim are user customisation using Tcl callbacks, Portability across Unix and Win-dow95/NT platforms and automatic creation of the simulator database by a set of Tcl based tools. GeNMSim is a commercial product targeted at Data Communication and Telecommunication companies involved in SNMP development.
