Using the QA Simulator – trap sender feature

Hi, some help is needed to understand how to use the QA Simulator trap sender to parse and send time-date OCTETSTRING values as is. The following is the use case and issue observed:

(1) The trap is exported as PDML. It contains the following timedate value expressed as OCTETSTRING

(2) In PDML this looks as follows:

(3) In the tool's UI, the text is non-readable:

(4) And in the resulting trap sent, it is seen on wireshark to have changed values:

Q: Is this an issue or are we using the tool incorrectly?

A workaround is to manually update the original in the UI:

But the resulting value sent in the trap now introduces double-quotes:

Q: Is there a better workaround that results in the trap being sent to be exactly the same as the original trap?

Hi Bing,

Personally I have not used the QA Simulator trap sender but haveyou tried using the Generic Trap Simulator, you can export and upload the csv from a trap receiver and that should give you the same result as the trap being sent
