Fault management testing is required to validate the effective event handling of the manager application. This is achieved through Trap simulation in SNMP devices. The Network Designer tool and the SNMP Agent Simulator offers an intuitive trap and inform configuration wizard, to configure and generate any number of traps/informs from a device, under different scenarios. This helps demonstrating and testing an application's handling of trap traffic under different conditions.

Further, the toolkit offers the Trap Stormer, an exclusive tool to storm SNMPv1/v2c traps at burst and normal modes. Trap storms can be generated to validate the effective event handling of the manager application.

Trap and Inform Simulation wizard

• Request-based traps and informs can be configured to be generated when a Get/Get-Next/Set request is made on a variable.
• Threshold-based traps and informs can be configured to be generated when a threshold condition is satisfied.
• Timer-based traps and informs can be configured to be sent on a daily or periodical basis, at the specified time.
• Option to Enable/disable SNMP Trap and Inform Service.

SNMP Trap Stormer Tool

• Configure to send any number of traps at the specified time-interval or at the burst mode, without specifying the time-interval.
• Configure multiple "Agent IP Address" for each trap.
• Capable of sending a maximum of 1800 v1/v2 traps per second in the burst mode with 4 varbinds and 400 traps per second with 2 varbinds in the normal mode, in Linux OS with 2.4 GHz.
