This value reports the transport type (such as an Ethernet/IP path) that a NetFlow flow monitor configured on a fabric-interconnect switch to sample and export traffic-flow data uses to move its traffic or exported data. An administrator troubleshooting a NetflowMonitor that appears to be silently dropping data checks transport first, since a mismatched or unsupported transport setting is a common reason exported flow data or link traffic never shows up where expected. For example, seeing an unexpected transport value on this NetflowMonitor would tell an operator to re-check the exporter or link configuration rather than assume the hardware itself has failed.
