Network Management Fundamentals

A guide to understanding how network management technology really works

Alexander Clemm, Ph.D.

Network management is an essential factor in successfully operating a network. As a company becomes increasingly dependent on networking services, keeping those services running is synonymous with keeping the business running. Network Management Fundamentals provides you with an accessible overview of network management covering management not just of networks themselves but also of services running over those networks.

Network Management Fundamentals explains the different technologies that are used in network management and how they relate to each other. The book focuses on fundamental concepts and principles. It provides a solid technical foundation for the practitioner to successfully navigate network management topics and apply those concepts to particular situations.

QUESTION 218
You work as the application developer at Certkiller .com. The global cache contains
an assembly named Certkiller Ass10. You are busy working on an assembly named
Certkiller Ass09. Certkiller Ass9 includes a public method.
You want the public method to be called from only Certkiller Ass10.
Choose the permission class which you should use.
A. Use the GacIdentityPermission
B. Use the PublisherIdentityPermission
C. Use the DataProtectionPermission
D. Use the StrongNameIdentityPermission
Answer: D
Explanation: StrongNameIdentityPermission can be used to verify the identity of a
calling assembly.
GACIdentityPermission can be used to test whether a file is in the global assembly cache
or not.
PublisherIdentityPermission can be used to verify the identity of a publisher.
DataPublisherPermission is used to control the ability to access encrypted data and
memory.
QUESTION 219
You work as the application developer at Certkiller .com. You are developing a new
application named Certkiller App12.
Certkiller App12 must be configured to receive events asynchronously. You define
two instances named Wq1EventQuery and ManagementEventWatcher respectively.
Wq1EventQuery will list those events and event conditions for which
Certkiller App12 should respond. ManagementEventWatcher will subscribe to all
events matching the query.
Which two additional actions should you still perform to enable Certkiller App12 to
receive events asynchronously?
Choose two correct answers. Each answer presents only part of the complete

Actualtests.org – The Power of Knowing
solution.
A. Call the Start method of the ManagementEventWatcher to start listening for events.
B. To configure a listener for events, use the EventArrived event of the
ManagementEventWatcher.
C. To wait for the events, use the WaitFor NextEvent method of the
ManagementEventWatcher.
D. Create an event handler class that contains a method which receives an
ObjectReadyEventArgs parameter.
E. Use the Stopped event of the ManagementEventWatcher to configure a listener for
events.
Answer: A,B
Explanation: The ManagementEventWatcher will not start to listen (hence the app
cannot respond to Async messages) until the start method is called. Once the
ManagementEventWatcher is listening it will trigger an EventArrived event every
time an event occurs that matches the query. You should provide a listener for the
EventArrived event to perform any custom handling.
WaitForNextEvent method is synchronous i.e the current thread will wait until a
matching event occurs
ObjectReadyEventArgs holds data for the ObjectReadyEvent.
The Stopped event is triggered when the ManagmentEventWatcher cancels it’s
subscription i.e is no longer interested in receiving notification of events.
QUESTION 220
You work as the application developer at Certkiller .com. You must specify a class
which is optimized for key-based item retrieval from collections. Your class must
cater for key-based item retrieval for small and large collections.
Which of the following class types should you specify?
A. Select the OrderedDictionary class.
B. Select the HybridDictionary class.
C. Select the ListDictionary class.
D. Select the Hashtable class.
Answer: B
Explanation: A HybridDictionary is implemented as a ListDictionary for small
collections and a Hashtable for large collections. Hence it provides very efficient
storage for both small and large collections.
OrderedDictionary supports sorting based on the key. It has similar disadvantages for
small collections to Hashtable on which it is based.
ListDictionary is ideal for small collections because it is implemented as a light-weight
linked list. Performance will suffer for large collections.

Actualtests.org – The Power of Knowing
HashTable is ideal for large collections, for small collections the overheads of such a
sophisticated data structure do not compensate for the benefits.

QUESTION 1
You work as the application developer at Certkiller .com. You are developing a .NET
Framework 2.0 Windows Service application named TestScannerSync that will be
used to constantly monitor for a scanner to be connected to the computer. The
TestScannerSync class inherits its functionality from the ServiceBase class. When
you connect a scanner the service synchronizes its data with the data in a SQL
Server database.
You decide to override the OnStop method in the TestScannerSync class and write
code to close database connections. You are required to identify a place in the code
where you can open the connection to the database.
What should you do?

Actualtests.org – The Power of Knowing
A. The database connection is opened in the constructor of TestScannerSync class
B. The database connection is opened in the OnContinue method of TestScannerSync
class
C. The database connection is opened in the OnStart method of the TestScannerSync
class
D. The database connection is opened in the OnPowerEvent method of the
TestScannerSync class
Answer: C
Explanation: The constructor for a service class derived from ServcieBase is called
the first time you call Start on the service, the OnStart command-handling method
is called immediately after the constructor executes.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The constructor is the incorrect choice as this is only called upon once and not again.
B: This method should not be used as this code will be executed when a Continue
command is sent to a service in a paused state.
D: This method should not be considered as this method will execute when the
computer’s power state has changed.
QUESTION 2
You work as the application developer at Certkiller .com. Certkiller .com uses Visual
Studio.NET 2005 as its application development platform.
You are developing an application that will be used to connect and control the
behavior of existing services installed on a network server named
Certkiller -SR01.
What should you do?
A. Use the MachineName and ServiceName properties of the ServiceController class.
B. Use the Site property of the ServiceController class.
C. Use the Site property of the ServiceInstaller class.
D. Use the ServiceName and DisplayName properties of the ServiceInstaller class.
Answer: A
Explanation: The proper way to connect and control the behavior of existing
services is by using the ServiceController class after which you are required to set
two properties on it to identify the service to interact with. The MachineName
property is used to define the computer Certkiller -SR01.
Incorrect Answers:
B, C: The Site property of the ServiceController and ServiceInstaller class should not be
used because they bind a component to a container and enables communication between
them.
D: This property should not be used as it is meant to specify the name of the service at
the time of installation. The DisplayName property is used to specify the friendly name
of the service at the time of installation.

Actualtests.org – The Power of Knowing
QUESTION 3
You work as the application developer at Certkiller .com. Certkiller .com uses Visual
Studio.NET 2005 as its application development platform.
You are developing a Windows Service application that consists of two Services. The
first service monitors a directory for new orders while the other service replicates a
database table with up-to-date information. You are required to develop a project
installer class to install these services.
What should you do? (Choose two)
A. One ServiceProcessInstaller instance must be Instantiate and add it to the project
installer class
B. Two ServiceInstaller instances must be Instantiate and add them to the project installer
class
C. Two ServiceProcessInstaller instances must be Instantiate and add them to the project
installer class
D. One ComponentInstaller instance must be Instantiate and add them to the project
installer class
E. Two ComponentInstaller instances must be Instantiate and add them to the project
installer class
F. One ServiceInstaller instance must be Instantiate and add them to the project installer
class
Answer: A, B
Explanation: The proper way to do what the scenario requires of you would be to
create one ServiceProcessInstaller instance per service application and one
ServiceInstaller instance for each service in the application which have to be
Instantiate.
Incorrect Answers:
C, F: You must create one ServiceProcessInstaller instance per service application and
one ServiceInstaller instance for each service in the application which have to be
Instantiate.
D, E: The ComponentInstaller class should not be considered for use as this class is an
abstract class that can not be Instantiate.

Oracle exam Express

Oracle Application Express is an easy-to-use application development environment built on the Oracle technology stack. There are two aspects of that previous sentence that you may find jarring—that Oracle, a company widely known for its database technology, has an application development environment, and that Oracle, a company thought of as delivering high-end, enterprise-ready technology, has anything that is easy to use.But, as this book will show, the introductory statement is completely accurate. Oracle Application Express, commonly known as Oracle APEX or simply APEX, does benefit from the long-established enterprise-class robustness that is the hallmark of Oracle technology. The applications you build will be able to support hundreds of users and many terabytes of data, scalability far beyond even the imagination of most other development environments.And Oracle APEX, with its declarative, wizard-driven methodology, is truly easy to use. In the course of the few hundred pages of this book, you will not only learn about how to use APEX, you will create a usable order entry system. The fast learning curve presented in these pages is a consequence of many years of development and refinement of the APEX product, which began life almost a decade ago within Oracle.By the end of this volume, you will know enough to create your own applications, as well as having the knowledge and understanding of Oracle APEX and the world of Oracle technology to explore further refinements on your own.Best of all, you can use APEX with absolutely no cost—either in a hosted environment, as suggested in Chapter 1, or with a free version of the Oracle database.Welcome to the world of Oracle Application Express!This book is aimed at a particular group of users—those who are not familiar with Oracle Application Express. The book assumes that you have a basic knowledge of application development, the type you could get from playing around with a personal database such as Access. In fact, this book was written with an Access developer in mind—an Access developer looking to step up to a more scalable and reliable environment, with reduced maintenance overhead and greater integration between application systems.This book covers the use of Oracle Application Express. Although the book is based on the 3.5 version, you can use the book with older versions as well. However, since the book will use a hosted version of Oracle Application Express, and since both the Oracle database that support the product and the product itself are available as free downloads from http://otn.oracle.com, you should be able to use the latest version easily.
