What is a network simulator?

- A program that virtually simulates a computer network for the purpose of studying how it behaves under certain circumstances.

Why do we need a network simulator?

• It lets us test a conceptual network before we ever implement it.– Significantly saves one a lot of money– We can simulate situations that are otherwise

not practical with real network

• Its can be an effective training tool for future network managers.

• It can also be used to test new NMS apps.

What is AdventNet Network Simulator Toolkit?

-it is a suite of fully independent software made specifically to

simulate and test a network in a virtual environment.

What are these software that are included in the suite?

• Network Designer/Simulator


• Network Designer/Simulator– Cisco Routers and Switches– Hosts/Servers (Linux, Solaris, Windows2000)– Printers (Lexmark inkjet, HP laser etc…)– Firewall

Network Designer



• SNMP agent simulator

SNMP Agent Simulator




• IOS simulator (Cisco)




• Network and Trap Recorders






• MIB Browser– Get, getnext, set and getbulk requests– Graph capability (choice of line or bar graph)






• MIB Browser

• SNMP V3 Config Tool
