Interviewers are not only interested in your knowledge, expertise, experience, and qualifications, but they also want to know how you go about performing the tasks required by this job. To do this, they ask you questions like this one, which is known as operational questions. Operational questions ask you to describe the methodologies, processes, and procedures you use to perform the job.

When responding to an operational question, you should step the interviewer through the process you use to accomplish the task they are asking about. You should break the process into individual steps, briefly describing each one. Like technical questions, your answer should be brief and to the point. The interviewer will ask you a follow-up question if they need additional information or want to explore the topic in more detail.

"One of the ways to determine what protocol is being used for Oracle RAC Interconnect traffic is to look at the database alert log for the time period, most notably after the database was started. Monitoring the database alert log closely for a specific time period will help you determine the protocol. This is especially true when looking at the log when the database was initially started up."
