MIMIC simulator is a product suite consisting of network simulation software for network

engineers. The simulator has several components which are related to simulation of

managed networks and data centers. The MIMIC IOS simulator is meant to solve a classical

simulation problem.

With it is ability to fully

support Cisco IOS software

and SNMPV1, V2, V2c, V3,

the MIMIC IOS simulator is

the most integrated tool in the

market. You can simulate up to

100,000 devices in a single

workstation and an unlimited

number of devices can be

simulated by distributing it

over multiple workstations.

With the simulator, you can

access devices using telnet,

SSH and SNMP. When

changes are made using one

protocol, they are reflected in

other.

MIMIC IOS simulator includes with many ready to go simulations for Cisco devices which

include the 3640, 7206, 6260, 6500 and works seamlessly with Cisco Prime Infrastructure,

GSR manager, Cisco works 2000 and other network management applications. If you want

to test your networking applications, you can use hundreds of simulated Cisco IOS

commands. Also with the MIMIC CLI/IOS recorder you are can record any command and

simulate it

The IOS simulator simulates the following components to approximate a Cisco device. First

it can simulate the telnet using a standard server thus allowing users to log into simulations

in order to control the behavior and configuration of the simulations. A device which is

telnet-enabled can be simulated using MIMIC. If you want a secure access, SSH version 1.5

and 2.0 are supported by the simulator. There is also support for remote logging, where

SYSLOG messages are sent to a SYSLOG server.

MIMIC Simulator can simulate the entire network. The configurations are run-time

customizable. MIMIC responds to queries on an of its configured IP addresses so it is as if

the NMS application is talking to an actual device. The simulator also includes MIMIC

Recorder where the behavior of the device on a network is simulated by capturing a snapshot

of the device in operation. From here the simulation can then easily replay the entire network.

The simulator also includes

MIMIC Compiler. With this,

you can import any SMI

compliant MIB and then

extend it to the set of defined

devise to support proprietary

equipment. The working

principle of the SNMP

simulation is that the SNMP

protocol is an interface that

can be simulated upon

request.
