Flexible NetFlow Exporter Configuration: Interpreting Show Flow Exporter Output

This 300-410 practice question tests your understanding of netflow and flexible netflow. Examine the command output carefully: the correct answer depends on what the output actually shows, not on general recall alone. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.

A network engineer runs the following command to verify NetFlow data export format:

R1# show flow exporter EXPORTER-1

Flow Exporter: EXPORTER-1 Transport Configuration: Destination IP address: 192.168.1.100 Source IP address: 10.0.0.1 Transport Protocol: UDP Destination Port: 2055 Source Port: 51234 DSCP: 0x00 TTL: 255 Output Features: Used Export Protocol: NetFlow Version 9 Template Data Export Timeout: 1800 seconds Option Data Export Timeout: 1800 seconds Option Data Configured: application-table sub-application-table application-attributes

What does this output indicate?

A
The exporter uses TCP to ensure reliable delivery of flow records.
Why wrong: The transport protocol is UDP, not TCP.
B
The exporter is configured to send NetFlow version 9 data with application option data, indicating NBAR integration.
The exporter uses NetFlow v9 and includes option data for application-table, sub-application-table, and application-attributes, which are used with NBAR.
C
The exporter is not sending any option data.
Why wrong: Option data is configured and shown in the output.
D
The exporter uses a destination port of 514.
Why wrong: The destination port is 2055, not 514.

Quick Answer

The answer is that the exporter is configured to send NetFlow version 9 data with application option data, indicating NBAR integration. This is correct because the show flow exporter output reveals the Export Protocol is set to NetFlow Version 9, and the Option Data Configured section lists application-table, sub-application-table, and application-attributes—these are the specific option templates used by Flexible NetFlow to export application-level metadata from NBAR (Network-Based Application Recognition). On the Cisco CCNP ENARSI 300-410 exam, this scenario tests your ability to distinguish between basic flow export and advanced application-aware export; a common trap is assuming any UDP export to port 2055 is just standard NetFlow, but the presence of option data templates confirms NBAR integration. Remember the memory tip: “Options mean apps”—if you see application-table or application-attributes in the exporter output, you know NBAR is feeding application recognition data into the flow.

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 exporter is configured to send NetFlow version 9 data with application option data, indicating NBAR integration.

The output shows the configuration of a Flexible NetFlow exporter. It uses UDP to send NetFlow version 9 data to 192.168.1.100 on port 2055. It also exports option data like application tables and attributes, which are used for NBAR-based application recognition.

Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.

KKey Concepts to Remember

Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.

TExam Day Tips

Underline the problem statement mentally.
Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

Key takeaway

Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Real-world example

How this comes up in practice

A practitioner preparing for the 300-410 exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
