A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1:
R1# show policy-map control-plane
Control Plane
Service-policy input: CoPP
class-map: MANAGEMENT (match-all) 5 packets, 500 bytes 5 minute offered rate 0 bps police: cir 8000 bps, bc 1500 bytes conformed 5 packets, 500 bytes; actions: transmit exceeded 0 packets, 0 bytes; actions: drop conformed 0 bps, exceed 0 bps
class-map: ATTACK (match-all) 100 packets, 10000 bytes 5 minute offered rate 0 bps police: cir 8000 bps, bc 1500 bytes conformed 0 packets, 0 bytes; actions: transmit exceeded 100 packets, 10000 bytes; actions: drop conformed 0 bps, exceed 0 bps
Based on this output, what is happening to traffic matching class ATTACK?
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
✓
All traffic in class ATTACK is being dropped.
The output shows that for class ATTACK, 100 packets were exceeded and dropped. This means the traffic rate exceeded the committed information rate (CIR) of 8000 bps, and all packets were dropped as per the exceed action.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
All traffic in class ATTACK is being transmitted.
Why it's wrong here
Conformed packets are 0, so no packets are transmitted.
- ✓
All traffic in class ATTACK is being dropped.
Why this is correct
Exceeded 100 packets, all dropped.
- ✗
Traffic in class ATTACK is being rate-limited but not dropped.
Why it's wrong here
The exceed action is drop, not transmit.
- ✗
Traffic in class ATTACK is being marked down.
Why it's wrong here
No marking action is shown; only transmit and drop.
