SNMP Inquisitor

Description

An SNMP Agent Development process inevitably involves testing and debugging activities that are tedious and time consuming.
SNMP Inquisitor is a testing and debugging application that uses the MIB database created by MIB compiler to conduct comprehensive testing of an SNMP responder verifying each result for conformance to the RFCs. It flags small deviations from the standards displaying the test results in the detailed and comprehensive form. The test configuration and test results can be saved to disk and subsequently loaded. Each test can be reproduced and used for debugging and the test results can be exported to an ASCII text file. The suite includes:

• MIB Compiler
• SNMP Inquisitor Application
• SNMP Sender Utility.

SNMP Inquisitor – Features

SNMP Inquisitor is a testing and debugging application that uses the MIB database created by MIB compiler to conduct comprehensive testing of an SNMP responder verifying each result for conformance to the RFCs. It flags small deviations from the standards displaying the test results in the detailed and comprehensive form. The test configuration and test results can be saved to disk and subsequently loaded. Each test can be reproduced and used for debugging and the test results can be exported to an ASCII text file. The suite includes:

• MIB Compiler
• SNMP Inquisitor Application
• SNMP Sender Utility.

The MIB Compiler is used to compile MIBs and create a MIB database used by the SNMP Inquisitor for testing and debugging. It is a GUI application that is able to compile SMIv1 and SMIv2 MIBs and generate SNMP C++ and SNMP Visual Basic source code. It is very flexible and allows MIB files to be viewed and edited using the editor of choice. The SNMP Sender application provides full flexibility for specifying and sending requests to the SNMP responder entity.
