Verifying the installation

Upon installation, the SNMP Agent Simulators creates a single simulated Linux agent running on localhost (127.0.0.1) and port 163. To verify the installation:

  1. Log in to the simulator web console: http://localhost:8080
  2. SNMP-walk the agent:
    snmpwalk -v2c -cpublic 127.0.0.1:163 system

    or

    snmpwalk v2c -cpublic localhost:163 1.3.6.1.2.1.1
    WindowsSNMP walk is not provided with Windows and must be downloaded separately from http://www.net-snmp.org/.
    LinuxSNMP is not installed by default by some of the most popular Linux distributions, and has to be installed separately, e.g., using sudo apt-get install snmp-mibs-downloader.
