AutoQoS is used to implement VoIP in the enterprise, but the trust option is not configured on the interface. Which network management Cisco IOS capability classifies the voice traffic?

The correct answer is D. NBAR. When AutoQoS is configured without the 'trust' option, it uses NBAR to dynamically classify voice traffic by inspecting packet payload signatures.

Why each option

When AutoQoS is configured without the 'trust' option, it uses NBAR to dynamically classify voice traffic by inspecting packet payload signatures.

ANetFlow

NetFlow collects traffic statistics and flow records but does not perform real-time classification or enforce QoS policies on individual packets.

BSNMP

SNMP is a network management protocol used for polling device metrics and receiving traps; it has no role in per-packet traffic classification.

CIP SLAs

IP SLAs actively generates synthetic test traffic to measure network performance metrics like delay and jitter; it does not classify existing application traffic.

DNBARCorrect

Without a trust boundary set on the interface, AutoQoS cannot rely on DSCP or CoS markings already present in the packets, so it invokes NBAR to perform deep packet inspection and identify VoIP traffic (such as RTP streams and H.323/SIP signaling) based on protocol signatures.
