300-410 Practice Question: Which TWO statements about the 'show policy-map…
Which TWO statements about the 'show policy-map control-plane' command output are true? (Choose TWO.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between CoPP (control plane-wide policy) and per-interface QoS policies, leading candidates to incorrectly assume that 'show policy-map control-plane' shows interface-level details.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The output displays the number of packets that matched each class in the CoPP policy.
The 'show policy-map control-plane' command output displays per-class packet statistics, including the number of packets that matched each class in the Control Plane Policing (CoPP) policy. This allows administrators to verify which traffic types are being classified and how much traffic is hitting the control plane.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The output displays the number of packets that matched each class in the CoPP policy.
Why this is correct
Correct. The command shows per-class packet and byte counters for matched traffic.
- ✓
The output includes the number of packets dropped by each class due to policing.
Why this is correct
Correct. The command displays drop counters for each class where a police or drop action is configured.
- ✗
The output shows the routing table entries that are affected by the CoPP policy.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The command does not display routing table information; it only shows CoPP policy statistics.
- ✗
The output displays the CoPP policy applied to each physical interface.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. CoPP is applied to the control plane, not physical interfaces. 'show policy-map interface' shows per-interface policies.
- ✗
The output includes the ARP cache entries that are protected by CoPP.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. ARP cache is not displayed by this command; it shows only CoPP policy statistics.
