SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (NPM) Exam Questions and Answers

Question 1

The Orion platform supports agent-based monitoring for which OS types? (Choose all that apply.)

Options:

A.

Sun Solaris

B.

IBM

C.

AIX Unix Agents

D.

Windows

E.

Linux

Question 2

You monitor three Cisco routers with NPM. NPM reports utilization statistics for two of the routers. NPM only shows Availability and Response Time statuses for the third router. Why do you not see utilization statistics on the third router?

Options:

A.

SNMP is not configured correctly on the third node

B.

The third node is monitored with WMI instead of SNMP

C.

The third node is monitored with the NPM agent

D.

The third node is monitored with SNMP instead of ICMP

Question 3

You receive an alert that one of your routers is experiencing critical level CPU utilization. The router details in the web console show as critical utilization, but you do not consider the utilization on that router to be at a critical level.

What change can you make in NPM to reflect a CPU utilization level you consider to be critical for the device?

Options:

A.

Copy the alert, change the trigger threshold, and limit the scope on that device

B.

Change the global critical CPU threshold for node statuses

C.

Change the critical CPU threshold on the node

D.

Change the trigger threshold on the alert

Question 4

You can use Device Studio to create pollers for CPU and memory?

Options:

A.

TRUE

B.

FALSE

Question 5

How do you prevent alerts when an interface is down, without influencing the status of the parent node?

Options:

A.

Select Unmanage Now in the parent node’s Maintenance Mode drop-down

B.

Add a dependency with the node as the parent object, and the interface as the child

C.

Add a dependency with the interface as the parent object, and the interface as the child

D.

Select Display Interface as Unplugged Rather Than Down in the Node Management view

Question 6

You need to build an Orion Map to show the relationships and connections between your Cloud servers and on premise infrastructure. You add the nodes but discover that the Orion Platform is not automatically mapping the connection between your cloud server and on premise router. You have verified that layer 2 and layer 3 topologies are being polled on the devices. How do you resolve this issue?

Options:

A.

You need to turn off layer 2 and layer 3 topology polling for cloud monitoring

B.

You need to configure a custom connection between the cloud node and the on premise node

C.

You need to open the topology ports in your firewall between the on premise node and the cloud node

D.

You cannot monitor the connection between on premise and off premise devices

Question 7

You configure an alert to send you an email when you have a high CPU load on your devices. Your NPM web console shows several devices have high CPU utilization, but you have not received any emails. What could be the issue?

Options:

A.

The alert threshold is set too high

B.

The hardware resources assigned to the system are too low

C.

The alerts are muted on the devices

D.

SNMP is not configured on the devices

Question 8

What is required of your nodes to detect duplex mismatches? (Choose all that apply.)

Options:

A.

Duplex of both devices must be identified as full or half

B.

Ensure corresponding values for each interface are different

C.

The nodes must support topology and be interconnected

D.

Unify the duplex mode configuration on neighboring interfaces

Question 9

When a router monitored by NPM reboots, the interface indexes statuses change to unknown in NPM. What do you do after you remove the unknown interfaces?

Options:

A.

Update the NPM internal ID numbers

B.

Manually update the interface indexes

C.

Rum a list of resources on that node and add the interfaces with the updated index IDs

D.

Run the Configuration Wizard to update the interface indexes

Question 10

When you configure a report, you can limit access to specific users.

Options:

A.

TRUE

B.

FALSE

Question 11

You need to add a new subnet of 500 devices for monitoring. What is the first step to incorporate these devices into NPM?

Options:

A.

Collect NetFlow from a core router

B.

Perform a Network Discovery

C.

Measure network-wide bandwidth consumption

D.

Add the nodes using the Add Node feature in Manage Nodes
