300-410 Practice Question: Which TWO statements about Flexible NetFlow flow…
Which TWO statements about Flexible NetFlow flow monitors and flow exporters are true? (Choose TWO.)
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
✓
A flow monitor can reference only one flow record, but multiple flow monitors can reference the same flow record.
Flexible NetFlow separates flow monitoring into three components: flow record (defines what to collect), flow monitor (applies the record and associates an exporter), and flow exporter (defines export parameters). A flow monitor can reference only one flow record, but multiple flow monitors can reference the same flow record. A flow exporter can be shared by multiple flow monitors. The default export format is NetFlow version 9, not v5. The flow monitor is applied to an interface using the 'ip flow monitor' command, not 'ip flow-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.
- ✓
A flow monitor can reference only one flow record, but multiple flow monitors can reference the same flow record.
Why this is correct
Correct. Each flow monitor is configured with a single flow record, but that record can be reused in multiple monitors.
- ✗
A flow exporter can be referenced by only one flow monitor to avoid export conflicts.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. A flow exporter can be shared by multiple flow monitors on the same router.
- ✗
The default export format for Flexible NetFlow is NetFlow version 5.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The default export format is NetFlow version 9, which supports templates and variable-length fields.
- ✗
The flow monitor is applied to an interface using the 'ip flow-export' command.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The 'ip flow-export' command is used to configure export parameters (destination, source, etc.), not to apply a monitor. The 'ip flow monitor' command is used to attach a monitor to an interface.
- ✓
A flow exporter can be referenced by multiple flow monitors simultaneously.
Why this is correct
Correct. A single exporter can serve multiple monitors, which is a key advantage of Flexible NetFlow's modular design.
