Network Designer

Features Added

1. Included option to create an IOS device using configuration file.
2. To add new IOS protocol/mode in IOS Script Editor has been included.
3. To delete the existing IOS Command has been included.
4. Option to give user a option to prefix the value with zeros and also the starting value if increment option is selected in bulk modification of agent value has been included.
5. Option to give user to start the agents at his own specified Interface, if not then starting it at a default active interface.
6. Option given to user to send the traps at his desired configurable port, if not then taking the trap port as default port. An issue is fixed in this feature.
7. New script API's to Get All Started Agents IP Address [getAllStartedAgents()] and to Get All Agents IP Address [getAllAgentsIPAddress()] are included.
8. New script API's to set read and write communities for the Agents at runtime. Once read and write communities is set manager can query using this communities.
9. New script API's to get the Label value of the Enumerated Integer Node by specifying the OID and the instance of the node.
10. New Cisco IOS router protocols can be added.
11. Scalability in Solaris increased.

13. An Rmi Api to down the virtual IP is included with method name as downVIP(String ipAddress).
14. An Rmi Api to stop the device by providing the ipAddress is include with the name stopDevice(String ipAddress).An Rmi Api to delete the device by providing the ipAddress is include with the name deleteDevice(String ipAddress).
15. Multiple Networks with same SNMP port can be started at different times in commandline.
16. Multiple Networks can be stopped at different times in commandline via RMI included.
17. Updating the device configuration file with loaded mibs and copying the loaded mibs to the device directory.
18. Enchancements done for the Usability Related Things while doing any operation.
19. While Starting the network, the buffering of the agent values feature is included so as to increase the performance of Request/Response from the first cycle itself.
