Remote monitoring and control of agent/network behavior is achieved
through RMI. RMI's unique capabilities to load and execute user-defined
tasks at runtime, helps in test case automation of manager applications.
For example, the automated test environment can change the value
of a given OID on a given SNMP agent to simulate different responses
that is required for the test cases, trigger traps at any time,
etc.
The RMI interface allows you to programmatically do all the things
that can be done using SNMP and TL1 Jython scripts to configure
behavior. Refer the following links to learn about the different
scenarios that can be setup via RMI.
