Question 480
After implementing a correction at a managed WAN provider in Amsterdam, engineers must verify that this original problem is resolved: A high-speed interface exports excessive flow volume and overwhelms the collector, while an engineer proposes dropping all flow monitoring. Which observed result BEST demonstrates success?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for high-rate sampled flow visibility. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Use an approved sampling policy where supported and document its statistical limitations', actually resolved the reported issue at a managed WAN provider in Amsterdam. The original failure was: A high-speed interface exports excessive flow volume and overwhelms the collector, while an engineer proposes dropping all flow monitoring.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies ipfix export compatibility in a different situation, such as when an exporter uses an IPFIX collector but the router sends an incompatible or incorrectly configured NetFlow format. For the reported high-rate sampled flow visibility incident at a managed WAN provider in Amsterdam, the required acceptance evidence is: The collector receives manageable sampled flow records and reports sampling metadata accurately. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies netflow v9 template information in a different situation, such as when the collector receives NetFlow v9 data records but cannot decode fields because the template has not been received. For the reported high-rate sampled flow visibility incident at a managed WAN provider in Amsterdam, the required acceptance evidence is: The collector receives manageable sampled flow records and reports sampling metadata accurately. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies syslog remote destination in a different situation, such as when a router logs events locally but nothing reaches the central collector because logging host was never configured. For the reported high-rate sampled flow visibility incident at a managed WAN provider in Amsterdam, the required acceptance evidence is: The collector receives manageable sampled flow records and reports sampling metadata accurately. This other result does not test that condition directly.
