In which NetFlow configuration step do you associate a NetFlow record with a NetFlow exporter?
- Verify the configuration.
- Configure a record.
- Configure an exporter.
- Configure a monitor.
- Apply FnF to interfaces.
Explanation: The NetFlow monitor serves as the central management point in a Flexible NetFlow configuration where disparate components are joined together.
During the step to configure a monitor, the administrator must explicitly associate a specific NetFlow record (which defines the "match" and "collect" criteria) with a NetFlow exporter (which defines the destination and transport parameters for the flow data).
The monitor represents the memory-resident database that utilizes these associations to determine which traffic data to capture and where it should be sent once the flow expires or terminates.
While records and exporters are defined in their own configuration steps, they remain inactive and unlinked until they are assigned to a flow monitor, which is then applied to a Layer 3 interface.
