A method and system for simulating trap messages of multiple network elements

Abstract

The invention provides a method simulating trap messages of multiple network elements and a system and relates to the communication technology field. The method comprises steps that, configuration files of a to-be-measured network management system are read to acquire and store configuration parameters of the to-be-measured network management system; command parameters inputted by a user through a simulation terminal are received and stored, an MAC address and an IP address of the simulation terminal are simultaneously read, an MAC address and an IP address of a simulation network element are generated based on the command parameters, the MAC address and the IP address of the simulation terminal according to predetermined rules; an Snmp trap message of the simulation element is assembled based on the configuration parameters and the MAC address and the IP address of the simulation network element and by employing the raw socket programming technology; the Snmp trap message is sent to the to-be-measured network management system through a raw socket sending function, and performance test on the to-be-measured network management system is carried out according to the Snmp trap message. Through the method, multiple network elements are simulated to send Snmp trap messages to the to-be-measured network management system, networking test on the to-be-measured network management system can be rapidly and conveniently carried out, and reliability and stability of the to-be-measured network management system can be effectively tested.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention belongs to the field of communication technology, and in particular relates to a method and system for simulating trap messages of multiple network elements. Background technique [0002] SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol, Simple Network Management Protocol) is one of the earliest network management protocols proposed. Because of its simplicity, it has been widely used and supported as soon as it is launched. At present, SNMP has become a working standard in the field of network management, and most network management systems and platforms are implemented based on the SNMP protocol. [0003] With the widespread application of the SNMP protocol, the network elements managed by an NSM (Network Management System) are thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Then in the current network application environment, these network elements are in Generate alarm information and send it to the NMS through Trap messages. The NMS must have the ...
