REAL-EMULATED-SIMULATED INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENT FOR TESTING COMPUTER NETWORKS

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to identify the various problems that may arise within a computer network and monitor them by testing various scenarios encountered in everyday life. The network was configured with the GNS3 emulator simultaneously with SNMP and OSPF protocols in order to highlight the shortest way of data packets from source to destination. The results of the different scenarios tested can be interpreted using the MIB Browser (iReasoning), the SNMP protocol, and the CACTI tool so that the results of the different scenarios in the network could be observed.
