The minimum requirements to run the Nextian SNMP Simulator are the following:
- 64-bit Windows (8 or higher) or 64-bit Linux (Debian or Ubuntu recommended)
- 1GB RAM
- Network connection with a fixed IP (private or public) address
Actual requirements for RAM, processor, and free disk space depend on several factors, including the number of simulated SNMP agents, tier complexity (e.g., number of OIDs and modifiers), the variety of device types (different SNMP record files), and the frequency of agent polling.
Hardware recommendation for agents of medium complexity (with approximately 3K OIDs per each agent) are as follows:
| Active Simulated Agents | CPU | RAM |
|---|---|---|
| < 1000 | 2 cores | 1 GB |
| 1000 – 5000 | 4 cores | 6 GB |
| 5000 – 10000 | 6-8 cores | 12 GB |
