Explanation
IRIS exports a Bill of Materials (BOM), which is a structured list of all hardware and software components associated with the devices in scope - making it useful for procurement, auditing, and inventory management.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- A (Data Sheets): Data sheets are manufacturer documents describing product specifications; they are not generated or exported by IRIS.
- B (Routing Configurations): While IRIS may display device information, detailed routing configuration export is handled by dedicated network management or backup tools, not IRIS.
- C (Quick Specs): "Quick specs" is not a standard IRIS export type; this is a plausible-sounding distractor but doesn't reflect IRIS functionality.
Memory tip: Think of IRIS as a procurement/inventory tool - a Bill of Materials is the classic output of any system tracking what components you own or need to order. If the question asks "what do you export?" and one choice is a BOM, that's your procurement signal.
