SCP-500 practice questions, page 4 of 6, with answer review and explanations.

Question 16

Users are complaining that a network connection is slow. How should SNMP be used to verify performance of the interface?

  1. verify bandwidth usage via if InOctets
  2. verify status via the if Table
  3. verify that SNMP agent is responding
  4. verify the performance via if Speed

Question 17

Orion NPM is monitoring the performance of DS-3 utilizing standard MIBs in the ifTable. Occasionally, the reported traffic rates for this interface spike well above45 Mbps. What is the most likely cause?

  1. heavy network traffic
  2. carrier misconfiguration
  3. counter rollovers
  4. database issues

Question 18

Orion NPM is using SNMP to poll a routerand track interface traffic rates. The data are Collected every 5 minutes, and the most recent values collected for a specific interface are 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 octets. What is the approximate average rate of traffic for this interface?

  1. 1 Kbps
  2. 3 Kbps
  3. 16 Kbps
  4. 26 Kbps

Question 19

When using a network management system (NMS) to monitor network interfaces on a router, you notice that statistics are wrong after an interface card is physically removed from the device. What has most likely caused this problem?

  1. interface re-indexing
  2. device configuration
  3. counter rollovers
  4. access lists

Question 20

Which two reporting requirements should you consider when specifying data roll-up settings for a network management system (NMS)? (Choose two.)

  1. data encryption
  2. data format
  3. data granularity
  4. monitoring coverage
  5. data retention
