Quick Answer
The answer is that NetFlow is only monitoring incoming traffic on this interface. This is correct because the show flow interface output explicitly shows “Ingress IPV4/IPV6 flow monitoring: enabled” with an exporter and monitor assigned, while “Egress IPV4/IPV6 flow monitoring: disabled” confirms no outbound data is being collected. On the Cisco CCNP ENARSI 300-410 exam, this command tests your ability to interpret NetFlow operational state from the CLI, often appearing in troubleshooting or configuration verification scenarios. A common trap is assuming that “FNF: enabled” alone means full bidirectional monitoring, but you must check the ingress and egress lines separately. Remember the memory tip: “Ingress is in, egress is out—check both lines to leave no doubt.”
This 300-410 practice question tests your understanding of device management. Examine the command output carefully: the correct answer depends on what the output actually shows, not on general recall alone. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1:
R1# show flow interface GigabitEthernet0/0 Interface GigabitEthernet0/0
FNF: enabled Ingress IPV4/IPV6 flow monitoring: enabled Exporter: EXPORTER1 Monitor: MONITOR1 Egress IPV4/IPV6 flow monitoring: disabled Ingress MPLS flow monitoring: disabled Egress MPLS flow monitoring: disabled
Based on this output, what is the state of NetFlow on this interface?
NetFlow is fully enabled for both ingress and egress traffic.
Why wrong: Egress is disabled.
NetFlow is only monitoring incoming traffic on this interface.
Ingress is enabled, egress is disabled.
NetFlow is not configured on this interface.
Why wrong: It is enabled for ingress.
NetFlow is only monitoring MPLS traffic.
Why wrong: MPLS monitoring is disabled.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
NetFlow is only monitoring incoming traffic on this interface.
The output shows that NetFlow is enabled on the interface for ingress IPV4/IPV6 traffic, with an exporter and monitor configured. Egress monitoring is disabled. This indicates NetFlow is collecting data on incoming traffic.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
NetFlow is fully enabled for both ingress and egress traffic.
Why it's wrong here
Egress is disabled.
NetFlow is only monitoring incoming traffic on this interface.
Why this is correct
Ingress is enabled, egress is disabled.
Related concept
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
NetFlow is not configured on this interface.
Why it's wrong here
It is enabled for ingress.
NetFlow is only monitoring MPLS traffic.
Why it's wrong here
MPLS monitoring is disabled.
Common exam traps
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A practitioner preparing for the 300-410 exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
