Configuring CoPP

Procedure
  1. Configure the default CoPP policy, edit an existing policy, or create a policy with the command copp-policy.
  2. Add, edit, or remove classes in the policy with the command class.
  3. If the policy is not the active policy on the switch, apply it with the command apply copp-policy. (Changes made to an active policy take effect immediately and do not need to be applied.)
  4. Review the CoPP policy configuration settings with the command show copp-policy.

Example

This example creates the following configuration:

  • Defines a new policy named My_CoppPolicy.
  • Adds two classes to the policy.
  • Activates the policy.

  • Displays policy configuration settings. 

switch(config)# copp-policy My_CoppPolicy
switch(config-copp)# class bgp-ipv4 priority 6 rate 5000 burst 60
switch(config-copp)# class ospf-multicast priority 2 rate 2000
switch(config-copp)# exit
switch(config)# apply copp-policy My_CoppPolicy
switch(config)# exit
switch# show copp-policy My_CoppPolicy
class                 drop priority rate pps burst pkts
