SolarWinds Certified Professional – Network Performance Monitor — Question 20

You want to create a custom poller for a device. When you select the OID you get an “OID not supported” error. What does this mean?

Answer options

• A. The SNMP string that you used is incorrect
• B. The SNMP agent on the device does not report on this OID
• C. This OID requires the read/write community string
• D. Your firewall is blocking SNMP requests

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as it means that the SNMP agent on the device does not have the capability to report on the specified OID. Option A is incorrect because the error specifically pertains to OID support rather than the SNMP string. Option C is wrong because the issue is not about community string permissions, and option D is not relevant since it is a reporting issue from the device itself.
