Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

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 cache size is too small at 1000 entries.
Why it's wrong here
Even with a small cache, flows would be added before aging. 0 flows added suggests no capture.
- ✓
The flow monitor is not applied to any interface.
Why this is correct
With 0 flows added and 0 current entries, the monitor is not receiving traffic. This is typical when it is not attached to an interface.
- ✗
The active timeout is too long at 1800 seconds.
Why it's wrong here
Timeout values affect aging, not the addition of flows.
- ✗
The cache type is Normal, which requires a sampler.
Why it's wrong here
Normal cache type does not require a sampler; it captures all packets.
