Gambit Communications Adds a IPMI Simulator to its MIMIC Suite

Gambit Communications, the leading network simulation tools provider, today announced the release of MIMIC® Simulator version 8.00. It includes the industry's first integrated simulator for Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). IPMI is a recent standard for server management promoted by Dell, HP, Intel and NEC.

MIMIC supports SNMPv1, v2, v2c and v3, and DHCP, TFTP and ToD, Cisco IOS, TL1 and Cable Modem Simulation capabilities. The IPMI Simulator extends the simulation capabilities of high-end IPMI-managed servers.

MIMIC 8.00 new features include:

# Support for a new protocol, IPMI. With this version of MIMIC you'll be able to simulate 10,000 IPMI-capable high-end server systems.

# IPMI Recorder - Just like other simulator in MIMIC Suite, this includes IPMI conversation recording and play-back (simulate) capabilities.

# Complete IPv6 support for Windows XP, 2003. It was already supported on Unix (Solaris/Linux).

# Complete control over OID traversal through mimic action jump in GETNEXT action script. This allows testing in the face of non-lexicographic ordering of MIB objects.

# Upgrade to the latest Tcl/Tk 8.4.13.

# Addition of many Cisco IOS command support to make simulation of Cisco devices closer to the real device

# New simulated devices and networks in the library

# Additional performance enhancements
