ServiceNow Certified Implementation Specialist – Discovery — Question 85

Using the SNMP Query operation on a pattern for a custom device query, it is best practice to do what?

Answer options

• A. Modify the default MIB information
• B. Enable SSH as a secondary protocol
• C. Use live devices in production
• D. Use the publish manufacturer’s device MIB

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because utilizing the published manufacturer’s device MIB ensures that you are using the most accurate and supported definitions for the device data. Options A and C are not advisable as modifying MIB information can lead to inaccuracies, and using live devices in production can cause disruptions. Option B, while useful for security, does not specifically relate to best practices for SNMP queries.
