Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create access-list to match control plane traffic
CoPP protects the control plane by filtering traffic. First, define an access-list to match the traffic of interest (e.g., SSH, BGP). Second, create a class-map to reference the access-list. Third, create a policy-map that assigns a police action (rate-limit) to the class. Fourth, apply the policy-map to the control plane in the inbound direction. Finally, verify the policy with show commands to ensure correct operation.

Same concept, more angles
2 more ways this is tested on 350-401
These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. Drag and drop the steps of Control Plane Policing (CoPP) rate-limit evaluation into the correct order, from first to last.
medium- ✓ A.Define access list to match control plane traffic
- ✓ B.Create class map referencing the access list
- ✓ C.Configure policy map with police rate and action
- ✓ D.Apply policy map to control plane service policy
- ✓ E.Hardware forwards or drops based on rate limit
Why A: CoPP first classifies traffic using an access list, then matches it to a class map, then applies a policy map with a police action (rate-limit), activates the policy on the control plane, and finally the hardware performs policing.
Variation 2. Drag and drop the steps of Control Plane Policing (CoPP) rate-limit evaluation into the correct order, from first to last.
medium- ✓ A.Configure class-map to match control plane traffic
- ✓ B.Define policy-map with class-map and rate-limit action
- ✓ C.Apply policy-map to control-plane service policy
- ✓ D.Router evaluates packet against class-map criteria
- ✓ E.Rate-limit action drops or polices exceeding traffic
Why A: CoPP evaluates packets by first classifying them into a class-map, then applying the policy-map to the control plane, which specifies the rate-limit action. The order ensures that classification happens before rate-limiting, and the final step is the action taken when the rate is exceeded.
