Which command displays detailed information about a Netflow operation?

1. #show ip cache flow

2. #show ip flow export

3. #show running-config

4. #show ip route

The correct answer is: #show ip flow export

The command that displays detailed information about a NetFlow operation is indeed the one that focuses specifically on the export of flow data. Using this command provides insights into how flow information is being sent to a NetFlow collector, including details such as the destination address and the port used for exporting the data. This command helps network administrators understand and troubleshoot flow information processing on the device, facilitating better network performance analysis. The other commands serve different purposes. For instance, one of them provides information about aggregate flow entries that are currently in the local cache, while another command reveals the configuration currently running on the device. The final command relates to routing information rather than flow data. Therefore, it's clear why the choice that pertains directly to flow data export is the most appropriate for obtaining detailed NetFlow operation information.
