Riverbed Certified Solutions Professional - Network Performance Management Questions and Answers

Question 1

On Cascade Profiler, in terms of retention of completed reports and reporting sources (one minute flow and rollup files), which of the following is true? (Select 4)

Options:

A.

One minute flow records are deleted from the file system FIFO (oldest first) once the appliance has filled the space that is allocated.

B.

There is a fixed amount of space on the filesystem for completed reports.

C.

A report template can be marked "keep until I delete it" so that any reports that are scheduled with this template are not automatically deleted from the filesystem.

D.

When the flows or rollup records have been deleted from the filesystem, any saved report that was generated from those flow sources is no longer available.

E.

Users have the ability to allocate additional space to the 1 min flow logs in order to increase retention. This is done at the expense of other rollup resolutions.

Question 2

Which of the following are available integrations for Cascade Profiler? (Select 3)

Options:

A.

SNMP to send traps to trap receivers.

Question 3

A user wants to use the link congestion analytic policy on Cascade Profiler to monitor five key WAN links for an increase in traffic outside of the expected traffic that includes TCP/80, TCP/443, TCP25, and UDP/53. Can the link congestion policy be used for this scenario?

Options:

A.

No, because a link analytic can monitor only a single interface.

B.

Yes, one can define separate link congestion analytic policies for each WAN interface.

C.

No, because one can only define specific ports to include on a link congestion policy.

D.

Yes, because one can define a port group that includes every UDP and TCP port except for those that include the expected traffic, and that port group can be used for the link congestion analytic policy.
