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
✓
Define class map to match traffic
The correct order for configuring traffic shaping or policing is: first, define a class map to match the desired traffic (A); second, create a policy map that specifies the shape or police action (B); third, apply the service policy to the interface (C); fourth, verify the policy using the show policy-map interface command (D); and finally, adjust the shaping rate or policing burst as needed based on verification results (E). This sequence ensures that traffic classification and policy definition are completed before applying the policy, and verification is done before making adjustments.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Define class map to match traffic
Why this is correct
Step 1: Define class-map to match traffic. This is the first step because you need to identify the traffic before you can apply actions.
- ✓
Create policy map with shape or police action
Why this is correct
Step 2: Create policy-map with shape or police action. After defining the class, you create a policy that applies the desired QoS action to that class.
- ✓
Apply service policy to interface
Why this is correct
Step 3: Apply service-policy to interface. The policy map is applied to the interface to enforce QoS.
- ✓
Verify with show policy-map interface
Why this is correct
Step 4: Verify with show policy-map interface. After applying, you verify the policy is working correctly.
- ✓
Adjust shaping rate or policing burst as needed
Why this is correct
Step 5: Adjust shaping rate or policing burst as needed. Based on verification, you fine-tune the parameters.
