300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command on Router R1: R1# show…
A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1:
R1# show flow exporter EXPORTER-1 statistics
Flow Exporter: EXPORTER-1 Packet send statistics (last 30 seconds): Packets sent: 0 Packets dropped: 0 Packets unsent: 0
Client send statistics: Packets sent: 0 Packets dropped: 0 Packets unsent: 0
Export statistics: Number of Flows exported: 0 Number of Packets exported: 0 Number of Source IP address unreachable: 0 Number of Packets dropped (no route): 0 Number of Packets dropped (queue full): 0
Based on this output, what is the most likely cause of no exports?
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.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The flow exporter is not referenced in any flow monitor, or the flow monitor is not attached to an interface.
The exporter statistics show no flows exported and no errors. This typically means the exporter is not receiving any flows from a flow monitor, likely because the flow monitor is not attached to an interface or the flow monitor does not reference this exporter.
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 destination IP address is unreachable.
Why it's wrong here
If unreachable, the 'Source IP address unreachable' counter would increment, but it is 0.
- ✓
The flow exporter is not referenced in any flow monitor, or the flow monitor is not attached to an interface.
Why this is correct
No flows exported and no errors indicate the exporter is idle, which occurs when no flow monitor using it is active.
- ✗
The UDP port is blocked by a firewall.
Why it's wrong here
A firewall block would not be reflected in these counters; packets would still be sent but lost.
- ✗
The source IP address is not configured on any interface.
Why it's wrong here
If the source IP were not configured, the exporter would likely fail to initialize, but the output shows it is operational.
