Gambit Adds Support for JUNOS Simulation
Summary
With the introduction of more powerful networking equipment and capital budget shrinking, simulation offers significant benefits to enterprises and service providers, including the reduced operating costs and greater flexibility in testing.MIMICs powerful recording and simulation capabilities can duplicate the production network in to their test labs.They can interact with Juniper gear just like real devices using SNMP or JUNOS®.With the introduction of more powerful networking equipment and capital budget shrinking, simulation offers significant benefits to enterprises and service providers, including the reduced operating costs and greater flexibility in testing.MIMICs powerful recording and simulation capabilities can duplicate the production network in to their test labs."MIMIC Simulator 9.40 also includes the following new features in addition to the JUNOS Simulator:Support for Juniper JUNOS and Cisco IOS command over Telnet/SSH;Automated JUNOS command discovery tool to allow users to discover all the JUNOS commands that are available on a specific device;JUNOS command recording tool to allow users to choose the specific JUNOS commands that will be included in the simulation;Extended security with SNMPv3 AES-192 and AES-256 support;Performance Wizard - To determine the right system for the type of simulations planned;Improved C++ and Perl API interface and performance and support for the latest Tcl 8.5.6;Support for Windows 7, Fedora 10 platform and Solaris Zones;Performance enhancements for large scalability testing along with addition of many devices and MIBs in libraries.MIMICs extensibility and scalability, up to 20,000 devices on a single platform, provide the opportunity to create network environments that would be impractical to create in a physical lab environment.
