350-501 · Question #251

Which additional configuration is required for NetFlow to provide traceback information?

The correct answer is B. A classification ACL must be configured to identify which type of traffic will be analyzed. For NetFlow to provide specific traceback information, an additional classification ACL must be configured to precisely identify and filter the type of traffic that requires detailed analysis and reporting.

Why each option

For NetFlow to provide specific traceback information, an additional classification ACL must be configured to precisely identify and filter the type of traffic that requires detailed analysis and reporting.

ACisco Express Forwarding must be configured for traffic that is egressing from the router to be

Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) is a fundamental, high-performance IP forwarding mechanism that NetFlow relies on, but it is a prerequisite for NetFlow operation itself, not an additional configuration specifically for obtaining traceback information.

BA classification ACL must be configured to identify which type of traffic will be analyzed.Correct

To gather specific 'traceback information' with NetFlow, you need to identify and isolate particular traffic flows of interest. A classification ACL allows the engineer to define granular filtering criteria, ensuring NetFlow analyzes and exports data only for the specific traffic types targeted for traceback, such as from an anomalous source or to a specific destination.

CThe BGP routing process must be started for any ingress or egress data to be reported when

The BGP routing process is responsible for exchanging routing information between autonomous systems, but starting it is not an additional configuration specifically required for NetFlow to provide traceback information; NetFlow collects flow data irrespective of the routing protocol.

DLLDP must be configured or the device will be unable to locate a NetFlow analyzer.

LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is a Layer 2 protocol used for discovering neighbor device information and has no direct role in NetFlow data collection, analysis, or the generation of traceback information.
