A network management server manages multiple network devices coupled to a communication network. A simulation device coupled to the communication network uses virtual network addresses to simulate multiple network devices in two respects. First, the simulation device uses virtual network addresses to simulate the generation of alarm signals from multiple network devices in the network environment. Second, the simulation device uses virtual network addresses to simulate responses to polling requests issued by the network management server. In this respect, the simulation device simulates the operation of multiple network devices to test the scaleability, performance, and reliability of the network management server.
