Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 628

When NetFlow is applied to an interface, which component creates the flow monitor cache that is used to collect traffic based on the key and nonkey fields in the configured record?

Answer options

• A. flow exporter
• B. records
• C. flow sampler
• D. flow monitor

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, flow monitor, as it is responsible for creating the cache that collects traffic data. The flow exporter is used to send flow information to a collector, records define the format of the flow data, and the flow sampler is involved in sampling packets, but none of them create the flow monitor cache.
