Question 1

What is a potential root cause of a slow response time across a WAN circuit?

Accepted Answer

Database replication across the circuit can consume significant bandwidth, leading to increased latency and slower response times across a WAN circuit.

Question 2

How can the Universal Device Poller (UnDP) be launched?

Accepted Answer

The Universal Device Poller (UnDP) can be launched as an executable application, which allows users to create and manage custom pollers for network devices.

Question 3

What are two possible cause sofa Universal Device Poller (UnDP) OID test failure in Orion NPM? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

The device being unreachable can cause the test to fail as it cannot communicate with the device. An unsupported OID means the device does not recognize or support the OID, leading to a test failure.

Question 4

What is the most direct way to measure an application's performance?

Accepted Answer

Timing application transactions directly measures how long it takes for the application to complete tasks, providing a clear indication of its performance.

Question 5

Network usage consistently increases to near saturation levels on your Internet connection from 12:00pm to 1:00pm on most days of the week. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

NetFlow data will show you what applications and protocols are using the most bandwidth during that time period.

Question 6

From your core site, your network management system (NMS) has detected that both the WAN router and the switch in one of your remote sites are unreachable. What should be your first step in identifying the root cause?

Accepted Answer

Examining the state of the adjacent core router's interface can help determine if the issue is with the connection from the core site to the remote site, which is a logical first step when both the WAN router and switch are unreachable.

Question 7

The application server team reports that the SQL servers are NOT responding as they Normally do. You check the interfaces on the SQL servers and see that their bandwidth utilization is within normal limits. What is a likely cause for this SQL application performance disruption?

Accepted Answer

High latency can cause delays in data transmission, leading to performance issues even if bandwidth utilization is normal.

Question 8

How should you visually represent service level agreement (SLA) interface utilization thresholds within the Orion NPM Web Console?

Accepted Answer

Defining SLA as a custom property in the Orion database allows you to directly integrate and visualize SLA thresholds within the Orion NPM Web Console, providing a more seamless and automated approach.

Question 9

During the process of switch port capacity planning and trending, the Orion NPM reports do not provide sufficient information. What is the easiest way to obtain the appropriate report?

Accepted Answer

The answer of During the process of switch port capacity...

Question 10

What are two supported ways to integrate Orion NPM with other network management solutions? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

The answer of What are two supported ways to integrate...

Question 11

You notice that several routers are showing an increase in CPU and memory utilization that is starting to concern you. What will likely happen if this trend continues?

Accepted Answer

As CPU and memory utilization increase, routers may take longer to process packets, leading to increased latency.

Question 12

You need to know when the aggregate size of SQL log files has crossed a threshold. How can you accomplish this?

Accepted Answer

Monitoring the usage of the drive where SQL logs reside will help you determine when the aggregate size of SQL log files has crossed a threshold, as it directly reflects the space being used by the log files.

Question 13

Which two actions are required to integrate Engineer's Toolset with the Orion Web Console? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Engineer's Toolset requires Administrator Rights to run and Browser Integration to access the Orion Web Console.

Question 14

You have created a new account in the Orion NPM website that requires that only nodes that contain the string 'Core' in their hostname should be seen. Which two steps should you take in Orion NPM to accomplish this? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

The answer of You have created a new account in...

Question 15

To add previously unmonitored humidity statistics to are port, which two components should you use? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Universal Device Poller (UnDP) is used to collect custom statistics like humidity from devices, and Report Writer is used to create reports that include these statistics.

Question 16

While diagnosing a network issue, you find that you are able to reach the troubled device when testing from the same VLAN, but you are not able to reach that device when testing from a separate VLAN. At which layer of the OSI model is the issue occurring?

Accepted Answer

Layer 3 (Network Layer) is responsible for routing packets between different VLANs. If a device can be reached from the same VLAN but not from a different VLAN, it indicates an issue with Layer 3 routing.

Question 17

An Orion NPM web user has requested that a link to an external website be added to the Orion Web Console when looking at devices. However, you want to avoid making global changes to all web users. Which two steps are required to accomplish this task? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

The answer of An Orion NPM web user has requested...

Question 18

What should the network engineer do during scheduled down time to prevent Orion NPM from triggering alerts on the affected devices?

Accepted Answer

Unmanaging the devices during scheduled downtime prevents Orion NPM from monitoring them, thus avoiding any alerts from being triggered.

Question 19

What are two indicators that you need to upgrade your network management system (NMS) database? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

High database disk usage and high disk queue length indicate that the database is struggling to handle the current load, suggesting a need for an upgrade.

Question 20

Users at both the New York and Los Angeles sites are complaining that VoIP is not working. Other network services at those sites and users at other sites seem to be unaffected. What are the first two things you should investigate to find the cause of this issue? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Investigating the current bandwidth utilization can help determine if there is congestion affecting VoIP. Checking recent changes to router configurations can identify any misconfigurations that might be causing the issue.
