Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
policy-map QOS class VOICE priority percent 10 class PREMIUM bandwidth percent 40 class class-default shape average 5000
Why it's wrong here
Using shape in the default class is not typical; also percent values are okay but the question specifies values in kbps.
- ✗
policy-map QOS class VOICE bandwidth 1000 class PREMIUM priority 4000 class class-default fair-queue
Why it's wrong here
Priority should be on voice, not premium data.
- ✗
policy-map QOS class VOICE priority 1000 class PREMIUM priority 4000 class class-default fair-queue
Why it's wrong here
Two priority queues would cause conflicts; only one priority queue is allowed.
- ✓
policy-map QOS class VOICE priority 1000 class PREMIUM bandwidth 4000 class class-default fair-queue
Why this is correct
Correct: voice uses priority, premium uses bandwidth, default uses fair-queue.
