The cost effective solution to
perform large scale testing
For testing purposes, Multi Server Simulator simulates large, virtual HTTP, FTP, SMTP, or DNS server networks,
as well as SNMP-based network switches using a standard Windows PC. It is an indispensable tool for the evaluation
and testing of network management and network testing tools.
Create Virtual Test Networks In Minutes
Using a standard Windows PC you can create large virtual networks using Multi Server Simulator. You are able to create as many servers and virtual switches as desired - limited only by the number of available IP addresses and TCP ports (as well as network and system performance).
Available Virtual Device Types:
- SNMP based switches (with 8, 100 or 1000 switch ports each)
- HTTP server
- FTP server
- SMTP server
- DNS server
- Simple server (open TCP port that accepts connections)
Setting up a network 100 servers and 20 switches (with thousands of ports) network merely takes a few minutes, much faster than installing and configuring normal server software on a PC.
The program will automatically discover all available IP addresses on the local machine. Select an IP address and click on one of the protocol buttons to add a virtual server. It will show up in the tree view on the right, beneath its IP address. Click a server to go to the configuration settings. When done with the configuration enable the "Up/Down" checkbox to start the server.
Features
- For all server/switch types:
- Name and TCP/UDP port can be set as desired for each server
- Servers can be created and deleted, as well as turned on and off with a single mouse click
- Recurrent downtimes can be simulated (for each device, intervals can be set by user)
- Detailed log is written for each simulated server
- Server sets can be saved to an XML file and reloaded later
- SNMP Switch:
- Simulates an SNMP manageable switch (according to RFC 1643 and RFC 1155)
- Simulates switches with 8, 100 or 1000 ports
- The traffic counters for each port are constantly updated to simulate data passing through the virtual switch
- For the 8-port switch, you can set the type of traffic pattern simulation
- HTTP Server: The web server always answers with one of two HTML blocks (intervals and repetition can be set by the user)
- FTP Server: Simulates an FTP server that accepts login requests and sends the number of available files
- SMTP Server: Accepts SMTP protocol connections with and without authentication
- DNS Server: Resolves DNS requests for the DNS name "localhost" with IP address 127.0.0.1; other DNS names cause an error message
- PORT: Accepts TCP connections on the specified TCP port
- Works on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista, 2008, 2012 and Windows 7, 8
