snmp simulator

Lately I have gotten into SNMP agent development and have been using the 30 day free trial of ireasoning's snmpd simulator. The tool has proven immensely handy, it can act as an snmpd service providing random/specified data for mib(s). While I would love for my employer to buy this tool, that doesn't seem very likely at the moment. So, I was wondering if any free alternatives exist that I could use instead?

Thanks for any ideas

Try this one: http://snmpsim.sf.net

This is basically a SNMP Agent that reports back static values as taken from its backend (text files). You could either dump a snapshot of a real SNMP agent into a text file for snmpsim or create them from the scratch.

The tool is cross-platform and SNMP v3 capable.
