How do I test SNMP module?

jManage 1.0+ provides an interface for querying the values of SNMP object identifiers (OID's) on SNMP-enabled devices. It retrieves the values of all variables available on a device. Future version of jManage will also provide a facility for setting the value of any specified variable. SNMP devices generally listen at port 161 and if your device is configured to listen at a different port please specify the same while adding/configuring your SNMP device with jManage.

To test the this feature download the test application (SNMPAgentTest) from http://gicl.cs.drexel.edu/people/sevy/snmp/snmp.html and run the same. This test application listens on the default (161) port. Finally configure the test application with jManage by specifying the hostname and port where the SNMP Agent test application is running.
