OVERVIEW
MIMIC JUNOS Simulator fully supports Juniper JUNOS® software and SNMPv1, v2, v2c, v3. Up to 100,000 devices can be simulated in a single workstation, and an unlimited number of devices can be simulated by distributing it over multiple workstations. An extensible environment allows new MIBs and devices to be added to the simulation.
MIMIC JUNOS Simulator ships with ready-to-go simulations for
Juniper devices (such as MX-240, M20).
MIMIC Protocol Support
MIMIC JUNOS Simulator simulates the following components to approximate a Juniper device:
- Telnet:
MIMIC uses a standard Telnet server, allowing users to log into
simulations in order to control the behavior and configuration of
the simulations.
- JUNOS: MIMIC simulates the JUNOS CLI in Telnet-enabled devices.
- SSH:
For secure terminal access, SSH version 1.5 and/or 2.0 is supported.
- SYSLOG:
For remote logging, SYSLOG messages are sent to a SYSLOG server.
- TFTP:
File transfers to/from a TFTP server are fully supported.
- And of course all of these are integrated with SNMP v1, v2, v2c, v3.
The MIMIC Product Suite
- MIMIC Simulator: Simulates an entire network. Configurations are run-time customizable. MIMIC responds to queries on any of its configured IP addresses, so it is as if the NMS application is talking to actual devices.
- MIMIC Recorder: Simulates the behavior of devices on a network by capturing a “snapshot” of the device in operation. The Simulation can then easily replay the entire network.
- MIMIC CLI/JUNOS Recorder: Enables users to make recordings of sessions between management stations and managed devices and to convert them into rules files for use with the simulations.
- MIMIC Compiler: Import any SMI-compliant MIB and to extend the set of defined devices to support proprietary equipment.
- MIMICView: A user-friendly GUI to manipulate the simulations.
- MIMIC Shell: A command-line interface.
- Discovery Wizard: Discover, record and simulate networks in a single step.
- MIB Wizard: Import and compile multiple MIBs simultaneously.
- Simulation Wizard: Build a custom simulation quickly just by specifying the MIBs needed; seeding the simulation with values; specifying default values to use; or entering custom values.
- Topology Wizard: Create topologies of devices, networks, their interfaces and interconnections.
- Update Wizard: Provides notification of product updates and optional add-ons.
- Libraries: Include devices from leading device vendors, like Juniper, Lucent, Nortel, and small and large networks, and over 1,200 MIBs.
- Platforms: Supports Windows®, Solaris™, Linux™ and Amazon Cloud. (details)
