class
Syntax
class <CLASS> {drop | priority <PRIORITY> rate <RATE> [burst <BURST>]}
no class <CLASS> {drop | priority <PRIORITY> rate <RATE> [burst <BURST>]}Description
Adds a class to a CoPP policy. If the class exists, the existing class is modified. Changes made to an active (applied) policy take effect immediately.
When adding or modifying a class in an active policy, CoPP immediately activates the change on the switch. In cases where insufficient hardware resources exist to support a class or its action, CoPP fails to activate the changed class on the switch. When this failure occurs, the active configuration on the switch will be out of sync with its definition. To diagnose and remedy this situation:
Use the
show copp-policycommand to determine which classes are out of sync between the active policy and its definition.Use the
reset copp-policycommand to synchronize the active policy with its definition. This synchronization changes the classes in the definition to match the classes in the active policy.
To stop a class of traffic from reaching the processor, set the class action to drop.

Removing the class that handles LLDP packets.
switch(config-copp)# no class lldp
