Refer to the exhibit. An engineer must add the SNMP interface table to the NetFlow protocol flow records. Where should the SNMP table option be added?

Question

Options

• Aunder the interface
• Bunder the flow record
• Cunder the flow monitor
• Dunder the flow exporter

• A
  4% (1)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  91% (21)

Explanation

Explanation

Adding the SNMP interface table option belongs under the flow exporter because the exporter is responsible for packaging and sending NetFlow data to a collector, and the SNMP interface table is used to map interface indexes (ifIndex) to interface names/descriptions for the receiving collector - this is an export-side function configured with the option interface-table command under the flow exporter configuration.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (under the interface): Interface configurations handle traffic ingress/egress settings, not NetFlow export metadata options.
• B (under the flow record): Flow records define what fields to collect (e.g., IP addresses, ports), not how supplementary mapping tables are exported.
• C (under the flow monitor): Flow monitors link flow records and exporters together, but they do not contain option table configurations.

Memory Tip: Think of it this way - the exporter is the one sending data to the collector, so it makes sense that it also sends supplementary option tables (like the SNMP interface table) to help the collector interpret what it receives. If the exporter sends the data, it also sends the decoder ring (option tables).
