Which configuration changes the packet loss priority from low to high?

The correct answer is B. policy policer ccnp-traffic rate 1000000 burst 20000 plp high. The 'plp high' command directly sets the Packet Loss Priority to high within a policer policy, which is the correct syntax for this configuration.

Why each option

The 'plp high' command directly sets the Packet Loss Priority to high within a policer policy, which is the correct syntax for this configuration.

Apolicy policer ccnp-traffic rate 1000000 burst 20000 exceed high

The 'exceed high' keyword is not a valid Cisco policer command - 'exceed' must be followed by an action such as 'drop' or 'remark', not a priority level.

Bpolicy policer ccnp-traffic rate 1000000 burst 20000 plp highCorrect

The 'plp high' keyword within a Cisco policer policy block is the correct command to explicitly set the Packet Loss Priority to high. PLP is a QoS attribute that signals downstream devices to preferentially drop marked traffic under congestion. The other keywords like 'exceed' control actions for out-of-profile traffic, not the PLP marking.

Cpolicy policer ccnp-traffic rate 1000000 burst 20000 exceed drop

The 'exceed drop' command causes out-of-rate packets to be dropped entirely, which does not set a Packet Loss Priority marking on the traffic.

Dpolicy policer ccnp-traffic rate 1000000 burst 20000 exceed remark

The 'exceed remark' command triggers a remarking action on exceeding traffic but does not configure the Packet Loss Priority to high.
