What is a MIB?

A

Management Information Base

It is a collection of information about a device, organized in a tree or hierarchy

In the case of enterprise MIBs (1.3.6.1.4.1.*) they’re enterprise-supplied text files with all the details about their own devices.

In the case of standard information (1.3.6.1.2.1.*) they’re defined in RFC3418 (e.g., system name, system location, system description).

Q

What port is used for Agent Installer (Inbound)?

A

TCP/135 (DCE/RPC Locator Service) Microsoft EPMAP
TCP/445 (Microsoft-DS SMB File Sharing)
WMI is only needed for deploying the agent to a Windows server with the Add Node or Add Agent wizard. If you do not want to open WMI ports required for software deployment, you can use another deployment method for the Agent.

WMI also uses any random TCP port greater than 1024.

A

Executable on first escalation level and then a 2 minute delay and the email on second escalation level.

115
Q

You need to change the polling method from ICMP to SNMP on 200 nodes you monitor with Orion. How would you best accomplish this?

A

Bulk select nodes in Manage Nodes and change the polling method.

116
Q

You run ten reports on three assorted weekly schedules and send the results to the network operations distributions. The addresses for the distribution list changed, and you must update the new email address to send the reports. How do you apply this update?

A

Use the Schedule Manager to edit each action on each report schedule, and change the email address.

117
Q

How do you display downtime for all monitored interfaces on a node.

A

Add the interface downtime widget on node view

118
Q

How are Orion agents licensed?

A

No separate license is required

119
Q

What is required of your nodes to detect duplex mismatches? Select all that apply.

A

The nodes must be monitored.
The nodes must be in the up state during the discovery.
The nodes must support topology and be interconnected.
Duplex of both devices must be identified as full or half.

120
Q

Where can you verify that NPM complies to the retention policy?

A

Orion Polling Settings

121
Q

Status, average response time, and packet loss are the only node details data you can view for your switch A device. The details of your identical switch B device shows status, average response time and packet loss and other statistics. How to monitor the other statistics on switch A and not to lost any historical data?

A

Edit the node properties of Switch A and change the polling method to “most device: SNMP and ICMP”.

122
Q

You want to create a custom poller for a device. When you select the OID, you get an “OID not supported” error. What does this mean?

A

SNMP agent on the device does not report on this OID

123
Q

What is required to monitor tenants in your SDN environment with NPM Cisco ACI monitoring? Select all that apply.

A

Enable API polling on the APIC node.
Add an APIC node to NPM.
Enable API polling on all ACI devices.

124
Q

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

A

Perform a network discovery.

125
Q

You need to push a SolarWinds agent to 20 Windows machines across your network. How can you accomplish this? Select all the apply.

A

Use the active directory group policy to mass deploy agent.
Deploy the agent directly from the Orion Server.

126
Q

You have two group of users - one in Sydney and one in Perth. How do you limit the user within the Orion Platform so they only have access to the device in their location?

A

Group devices into geographical Orion groups and use single group account limitation to limit user access.

127
Q

You configured devices to send SNMP trap to NPM, but do not see the messages in the Orion Web Console. You verified that the firewall port are open and the devices are correctly configured. What can you verify to troubleshoot

A

Verify the SNMP trap service is running.

128
Q

You stop receiving the volume status and volume statistics from one of your Windows 2016 servers. Packet traces reveal requests are delivered to and from the server and the device is up in the NPM console. What is most likely the cause of the issue?

A

Volume index has changed because the disk was replaced.

129
Q

How can you quickly generate a report in NPM to show the top 50 interfaces by percent utilization?

A

Copy a similar default report and edit for the top 50 interfaces

130
Q

A custom poller has polled some results from nodes. Which of the following is the possible reason for not being able to show the polled result as a chart on the Orion Web Console?

A

We did not set the poller to collect historical statistics

131
Q

You added a device for NPM to monitor. You can see CPU and memory statistics, but want to use a statistic that NPM does not support out-of-the-box, which feature can you use to collect the statistics you want from the devices. Select all that apply.

A

Manage pollers in device studio.
Universal Device Poller or UNDP.

132
Q

Which two performance metrics can be affected by proper QoS implementation?

A

Jitter
Latency

133
Q

Which traffic type should be allowed to leverage HTTPS for network monitor?

A

TCP traffic on port 443

134
Q

You are configuring Orion Map but the Topology connection between some of the nodes are not showing automatically. You have enabled L2 and L3 resource under the List Resource of the node. However, the connection is still not automatically populated.

A

Manually create connection between nodes in the Orion Map.

135
Q

You are planning to run the SolarWinds Network Discovery. However, you want to exclude some elements to be discovered during the discovery. How would you go about it?

A

Configure Ignore List

136
Q

How much memory does an Agent typically consume?

A

10 - 100 MB, depending on the number and types of jobs.

137
Q

Which of the following Situations is Agent most beneficial?

A

Polling hosts and applications behind firewall NAT or proxies.
Secure, encrypted polling over a single port.
Support for low bandwidth, high latency connections.
Polling nodes across domains where no domain trusts have been established.

138
Q

Under normal operating conditions, SolarWinds Platform agent monitoring consumes how many percent in terms of the resources than what would be consumed by monitoring the same node agentless.

A

less than 1% more resources than what would be consumed by monitoring the same node agentlessly.

139
Q

How do we ensure that only the SolarWinds Platform server can initiate communication to the SolarWinds Platform agent?

A

The agent retains a copy of the public Orion certificate obtained during provisioning. Passive mode uses this to authenticate the server.
