N10-009 · Question #472

A network administrator received reports that a 40Gb connection is saturated. The only server the administrator can use for data collection in that location has a 10Gb connection to the network…

The correct answer is C. Flow data. Exporting flow records (e.g., NetFlow/IPFIX) from the 40 Gb switch lets you analyze traffic volume by source, destination, and application without requiring full-rate packet captures or mirroring - ideal when your analysis server is limited to a 10 Gb link.
