A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1:
R1# show flow interface GigabitEthernet0/1 Interface GigabitEthernet0/1
FNF: monitor Monitor: FLOW-MONITOR-1 direction: Input traffic-statistics: enabled
Based on this output, what can be concluded?
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 monitor is applied only to incoming traffic on this interface.
The output shows that flow monitor FLOW-MONITOR-1 is applied to GigabitEthernet0/1 in the input direction with traffic statistics enabled.
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 flow monitor is applied only to incoming traffic on this interface.
Why this is correct
The direction field shows Input, meaning Flexible NetFlow captures only packets entering GigabitEthernet0/1. No output direction is listed, so egress traffic on that interface is not monitored by FLOW-MONITOR-1, satisfying the question's constraint about which traffic is sampled.
- ✗
The flow monitor is applied to both input and output traffic.
Why it's wrong here
Only direction: Input appears, meaning Flexible NetFlow monitors ingress traffic exclusively on this interface. Assuming both directions is tempting because flow monitors can be applied bidirectionally, which would be correct if the output listed both input and output stanzas.
- ✗
Traffic statistics are disabled.
Why it's wrong here
The line traffic-statistics: enabled confirms statistics collection is active, contradicting the claim. Reading disabled is tempting when engineers expect an explicit on/off keyword elsewhere, but the enabled state shown here is definitive; disabled would appear only if statistics were turned off.
- ✗
The flow monitor is not attached to any interface.
Why it's wrong here
The output explicitly shows FLOW-MONITOR-1 attached to GigabitEthernet0/1 under FNF: monitor, so the monitor is bound to an interface. This conclusion is tempting when an engineer sees no separate output-direction stanza, but attachment is confirmed by the Monitor line itself.
