Correct answer & explanation
✓
Define class-map to match traffic
First, identify the traffic to be shaped or policed using a class-map. Then configure the policy-map with either shape or police command. Apply the service-policy in the appropriate direction. For shaping, the router buffers excess traffic; for policing, it drops or re-marks. Finally, verify using show policy-map interface.

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 the QoS shaping and policing configuration sequence into the correct order, from first to last.
medium- ✓ A.Define traffic classes using class maps
- ✓ B.Configure shaping or policing in a policy map
- ✓ C.Apply the policy map to an interface
- ✓ D.Monitor traffic with show policy-map interface
- ✓ E.Adjust shaping rate or policing burst parameters
Why A: Shaping and policing require first defining traffic classes, then configuring the shaping/policing actions in a policy map, applying the policy to an interface, and finally adjusting parameters based on monitoring. This order ensures proper traffic control.
Variation 2. Drag and drop the steps of traffic shaping vs policing configuration steps into the correct order, from first to last.
medium- ✓ A.Define class map to match traffic
- ✓ B.Create policy map with shape or police action
- ✓ C.Apply service policy to interface
- ✓ D.Verify with show policy-map interface
- ✓ E.Adjust shaping rate or policing burst as needed
Why A: 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.
