Packet Flow Issues
Packets could be dropped for the following reasons:
-
Software-switched packets could be dropped because of Control Plane Policing (CoPP).
-
Hardware-switched packets could be dropped by the hardware because of a bandwidth limitation.
Packets Dropped Because of Rate Limits
Use the show hardware rate-limit command to determine if packets are being dropped because of a rate limit.
switch(config)# show hardware rate-limit module 1
Units for Config: packets per second
Allowed, Dropped & Total: aggregated since last clear counters
Rate Limiter Class Parameters

Allowed : 0
Dropped : 0

Packets Dropped Because of CoPP
Use the show policy-map interface control-plane command to determine if packets are being dropped because of CoPP.
switch# show policy-map interface control-plane

match exception ip icmp unreachable
match exception ttl-failure
