During the process of starting a Python network telemetry collector, which command starts the Cisco bigmuddy-network-telemetry-collector from GitHub?

Question

Options

• Amodel driven telemetry
• Btelemetry-receiver.py --ip-address <addr> --port <port>
• Ctelemetry-receiver.py --destination <port> --url <url>
• Dstreaming telemetry

• B
  92% (22)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Option B is correct because telemetry-receiver.py is the actual Python script included in the Cisco bigmuddy-network-telemetry-collector repository, and it accepts --ip-address and --port flags to specify where the collector listens for incoming telemetry streams - these are the standard parameters needed to bind a receiver to a network socket.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A ("model driven telemetry") and D ("streaming telemetry") are technology concepts or Cisco IOS configuration keywords, not executable commands - you'd type these in a router's CLI to configure the sending side, not to start a collector.
• C uses --destination and --url, which are not the correct flags for this script; these sound more like parameters for an HTTP-based forwarder or a different tool entirely.

Memory tip: Think "receiver needs an address and a port to listen on" - just like any server socket. The --ip-address / --port pairing maps directly to how you'd bind any Python socket server, making option B the only choice that makes technical sense for starting a listener.
