SolarWinds Certified Professional – Network Performance Monitor — Question 10

Status, Average Response Time, and Packet Loss are the only node details data you can view for your switch A device. The node details of your identical switch B device show Status, Average Response Time, and Packet Loss and other statistics. How can you monitor the other statistics on switch A and not lose any historical data?

Answer options

• A. Delete switch A, and then add it again and this time choose “Most Devices: SNMP and ICMP” as the polling method
• B. Edit the node properties of switch A and change the polling method to “Most Devices: SNMP and ICMP”
• C. Edit the node properties of switch A and change the polling method to “Status Only: ICMP”
• D. Edit the node properties of switch B and change the polling method to “Status Only: ICMP”
• E. Add switch A again without deleting it first, and this time choose “Most Devices: SNMP and ICMP” as the polling method

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E because re-adding switch A with the appropriate polling method allows access to additional statistics while preserving historical data. Option A would result in the loss of historical data, while B, C, and D do not enable the extra statistics for switch A.
