IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition V3.9 Implementation Sample Questions:

1. In IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition V3.9 which command enables NAT Translation given write access to the configuration files?

A) edit DiscoConfig.cfg - set m_UsingNAT to 0 and m_NATStatus to 1 underdisco.NATStatus table
B) edit DiscoSchema.cfg - set m_UsingNAT to 1 and m_NATStatus to 0 under disco.NATStatus table
C) edit DiscoSchema.cfg - set m_UsingNAT to 0 andm_NATStatus to 1 under disco.NATStatus table
D) edit DiscoConfig.cfg - set m_UsingNAT to 1 and m_NATStatus to 0 under disco.NATStatus table

2. During a deployment, a customer has identified location data that they would like added to both chassis and interface events from active (IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition V3.9 (ITNM)) and passive (traps, syslogetc.) event sources.
This data has been successfully imported into the Discovery process using supported stitching techniques and appears in the topology as three custom Extralnfo fields (see below).
ncpjnodel has been configured to transfer this locationdata to a custom extended NCIM database table named locations (see exhibit below). This data is only held on EntityType 1 (chassis entities) to reduce the NCIM load.
The customer has identified three ObjectServer fields that they would like this data:o be added to for all suitable events -NmosGeography, NmosCountry, and NmosSite

Example record in Model Description of the ncim.locations table

The ModelNcimDb configuration has been modified to map:

Based on the scenario, the location data isheld in NCIM at the chassis (EntityType 1) but not against each interface entity.
If an SNMP linkDown trap was received by the ObjectServer, could it be enriched with the location data held on the chassis?

A) Yes. But only if the event is sent across the gateway for further root cause analysis and entity identification
B) No. An interface event cannot be related to the parent chassis by the gateway
C) No. The data would need to be held at both the interface and chassis level to allow this enrichment
D) Yes. Interface events can be enriched with chassis level data by the EventGateway

3. A company is experiencing problems accessing their remote topology database. What could they do to see if the core components still have access to the NCIMdatabase and determine the cause of the problem?

A) use the script $NCHOME/precision/perl/scripts/ncp_db_access.pl to check the communications and access to the databases
B) log in to the IBM Tivoli Integrated Portal and test the database connections under Administration > Database Access > Configuration
C) access the $NCHOME/etc/precision/ncimLogin.cfg file and change the value for m_ChckConnect to true for the problem database
D) access the $NCHOME/etc/precision/DbLogins.cfg file and change the value for m_LogLevel to DEBUG for the problem database

4. Before designing the architecture for IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition V3.9 (ITNM), what are two requirements prior to installation? (Choose two.)

A) designate which type of database will house the NCIM database for ITNM
B) configure the unidirectional OMNIbus to the ITNM gateway
C) estimate the number of interfaces that will be discovered and managed by ITNM
D) configure LDAP settings in Tivoli Integrated Portal
E) configure customized discovery stitchers for enrichment

5. In IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition V3.9 (ITNM), which statement is true in NAT Discovery?

A) Devices within a NAT domain that have only private IP addresses can be discovered or managed
B) ITNM discovers the NAT gateways before discovering the rest of the network.
C) ITNM can discover the NAT domains and the rest of the network simultaneously during discovery.
D) Discovery process must discover the NAT environment from inside (private network).
