Self Study: IBM Tivoli NetView V7.1.4 Product Information and Related Links
Order number: n/a
Abstract: Enterprise and service providers are realizing the strategic importance of network management in today's computing environments. IBM Tivoli NetView V7.1.4 extends traditional network management to ensure the availability of critical business systems and to provide rapid resolution of problems.
What is IBM Tivoli NetView V7.1.4? IBM Tivoli NetView V7.1.4 discovers TCP/IP networks, displays network topologies, correlates and manages events and SNMP traps, monitors network health, and gathers performance data. It meets the needs of managers of large networks by providing the scalability and flexibility to manage mission-critical environments.
Практический тест
Примечание: Этот тест разработан с целью дать кандидату представление о содержании и формате вопросов сертификационного экзамена. Данный тест не является оценочным тестом. Выполнение его не гарантирует выполнение сертификационного теста.
1. Why is it important to verify that NetView IP ports do not conflict with existing port assignments before installation?
A. NetView does not prompt the user before killing daemons running on its ports which may lead to data corruption in other applications.
B. Post-installation configuration may fail, or NetView daemons may not be able to run after installation if there is a conflict.
C. If port conflicts do occur, NetView must be uninstalled and the /usr/OV/conf/netview.ports file must be modified to remove any conflicts.
2. Which two requirements are considerations when choosing between the UNIX and Windows versions of NetView? (Choose two.)
A. performing ruleset editing
B. configuring Mid-Level Managers
C. accessing with the NetView Web console
D. using Location Sensitive Topology feature
E. using SmartSets to define polling intervals
3. Which three statements describe the Tivoli NetView paging utility? (Choose three.)
A. A modem is required.
B. Skytel access is required.
C. Digital and analog lines are supported.
D. The nvpagerd daemon must be restarted after configuration files are changed.
E. NetView paging can be used through an event correlation rule or from the command line.
4. Which statement describes trap functionality?
A. You cannot filter out an event once it has been processed by the trapd daemon.
B. The best way to filter out unwanted traps is to edit the file usr/OV/conf/trapd.conf.
C. The trap is not available for display in an events display workspace if it has been customized to have the "log only" event category.
D. The trap will not be received by the trapd daemon if it has been customized to have the "don't log or display" event category.

D. netmon flooding the network with ICMP traffic
6. Which two statements describe status polling in a Tivoli NetView environment? (Choose two.)
A. An MLM cannot report status information to multiple NetView managers.
B. If a given node appears in 2 different aliases, and 2 different polling intervals are set, the shorter interval takes precedence.
C. If an MLM goes down, NetView automatically resumes status polling for the nodes the MLM is supposed to manage.
