SimpleAgentPro (8.0) adds support for HTTP(s) and SSH
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, February 18, 2004: SimpleSoft, a leading
provider of SNMP test and simulation tools, today announced the release
of SimpleAgentPro (Ver 8.0), a network
simulator that allows users to develop, test, train and demonstrate
network management applications without requiring thousands of real hardware
boxes.
While SNMP is the leading internet standard for network management, management
applications continue to utilize a variety of protocols to monitor and control
networking devices. Telnet/CLI, SSH, HTTP, HTTPs, TL1, DH, TFTP and FTP are
often used in addition to SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 to effectively manage a
multi-vendor, heterogeneous environment. Recognizing this need, SimpleSoft has
continued to enhance its popular SNMP simulator, SimpleAgentPro, to support all
the above protocols.
"As Network Management paradigms and protocols evolve, we have continued to
enhance SimpleAgentPro to make it not just a SNMP simulator but a true Network
Management device simulator," said Sudhir Pendse, SimpleSoft CEO, "Our customers
can now simulate large scale networks with thousands of network elements
to carry out scalability, performance, disaster recovery and pre-deployment
testing."
SimpleAgentPro can dramatically reduce test setup costs by simulating thousands
of expensive devices on one machine. Version 8.0 can quickly create new
networks or learn from existing ones using built-in discovery wizards.
Error conditions, trap storms, and syslog events can be easily created to
test disaster recovery scenarios. Pre-deployment testing of large networks
can be carried out to ensure that management solutions in place can scale
up to handle the load. SimpleAgentPro can also be useful during
development, demonstrations and training.
AVAILABILITY
SimpleAgentPro (ver 8.0) is available immediately on Windows, Solaris and Linux.

an SNMP vulnerability probe that quickly and easily tests SNMP implementations
for vulnerability to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
