arrow Real Test Case General



Test Information


This is a real test case using the server to monitor some SNMP devices over a slow network.
In a typical network environment there are equipments from many vendors and consequently different implementations of SNMP protocol which may interfere in performance, plus not all devices supports SNMPv2 which is known to be a faster implementation than SNMPv1.


Tested Network Enviroment


Server Computer Configuration:

  • AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2800+

  • 512MB DDR System Memory

  • 40GB Disk space

  • 100Mbps Network Connection

  • Running Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2

Monitored SNMP Devices:

  • 50 Computers using Microsoft SNMP Service
