Consider the following partial configuration on router R6:
flow exporter EXPORTER-3 destination 192.168.2.200 source Loopback0 transport udp 2055 template data timeout 120 ! flow monitor MONITOR-6 exporter EXPORTER-3 record netflow ipv4 original-input !
interface GigabitEthernet0/6 ip flow monitor MONITOR-6 input
!

This question tests understanding of template refresh timing in NetFlow v9 export.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The router will resend the NetFlow v9 template to the collector every 120 seconds to ensure the collector has the latest template.
Why this is correct
The 'template data timeout' command controls how often the router re-sends the template to the collector, which is necessary because NetFlow v9 uses templates that may be lost.
- ✗
The router will wait 120 seconds before sending any flow data after the first template is sent.
Why it's wrong here
The timeout controls template refresh, not the initial delay of data export.
- ✗
The router will export flow data only if the template has been successfully acknowledged by the collector within 120 seconds.
Why it's wrong here
NetFlow v9 does not require acknowledgment; templates are sent unacknowledged.
- ✗
The router will store flow data for 120 seconds before exporting to allow batching.
Why it's wrong here
The 'template data timeout' does not affect how long data is stored; that is controlled by cache timeouts.
