SolarWinds Certified Professional (SCP) — Question 3

You have just changed the community string within the snmpd. conf on a Linux server.
What needs to occur to monitor this device in Orion?

Answer options

• A. re-add the Linux server to Orion
• B. restart the SNMP process on the Linux server
• C. restart the SNMP process on the Orion server
• D. re-add the Orion server to the Linux server

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because restarting the SNMP process on the Linux server is required for the changes in the community string to take effect. The other options are not necessary; re-adding the server or restarting processes on Orion would not address the change made to the SNMP configuration on the Linux server.
