Refer to the exhibit: R1#show policy-map control-plane Control Plane Class-map: NMS (match-all) 500461 packets, 24038351 bytes 5 minute offered rate 1390000 bps, drop rate 0 bps police: cir 50000…

Removing an implied 'exceed-rate' action (which leads to drops) without adjusting the CIR would either allow all traffic or requires a specific configuration not typically found as a single command in this context, and doesn't address the underlying issue of insufficient bandwidth allocation.

Removing the class map from CoPP would disable protection for NMS traffic entirely, potentially exposing the control plane to denial-of-service attacks, which is not a resolution to a rate-limiting issue.

Configuring the CIR to a lower value would further restrict the allowed traffic and exacerbate the dropping issue, as the current CIR is already too low for the offered NMS traffic.

By separating NMS tools into multiple class maps based on specific protocols, an administrator can apply distinct and appropriate policing actions with adequate CIRs for each type of management traffic, preventing drops for critical NMS operations while maintaining control plane protection. This allows for more granular and effective management of diverse control plane traffic compared to a single broad policy.
