To ensure that the consumer receives the telemetry data, it is crucial to define the destination where the telemetry data should be sent. This is accomplished by configuring the IP address of the receiver. Without this information, even if the Cisco IOS XE device accepts the configuration commands for a static telemetry subscription, it will not know the destination for the data, resulting in the consumer not receiving any telemetry data. References: Automating Cisco Enterprise Solutions Official Cert Guide
