Selected Answer: A
NetFlow is a protocol developed by Cisco that allows network administrators to collect metadata about network traffic, such as source and destination IP addresses, traffic volumes, and protocols used. NetFlow works by capturing traffic at the network layer and generating flow records, which are then exported to a collector for further analysis. NetFlow data is typically used for network traffic analysis, capacity planning, and security monitoring. Traffic mirroring, on the other hand, involves copying network traffic from a switch port and sending it to another port for analysis. This allows administrators to capture and inspect all of the data contained in the mirrored traffic, including payload content.
