Sending real data [was Re: [SNMP4J] Newbie Agent help please]

[dhay at lexmark.com]

Hi Frank,

That sounds great!  I managed to do the first part - took a snapshot of 
the real printer device...I now have a xxxmib.sf file.

But not sure how I "apply the snapshot on the simulation agent"?

Would you have a minute to explain a little further?

cheers,

David

Hi David,

You could use MIB Explorer Pro to take a snapshot of the
real printer device and then apply the snapshot on the
SNMP4J-Agent simulation agent (the agent must use the
SimMOFactory). For more information see:
http://www.snmp4j.org/agent/doc/org/snmp4j/agent/mo/ext/SimMOFactory.html

The ifTable is a table from the IF-MIB. It is just
there for demonstration purposes, you can safely
ignore it.

Best regards,
Frank
