Usage Guidelines
In Cisco NX-OS releases prior to 5.2(1), you must use the setup utility to change or reapply the default CoPP
policy. You can access the setup utility using the setup command.
Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 5.2, the CoPP best practice policy is read-only. If you want to modify
its configuration, you must clone it using the copp clone profile command. Cloned policies are treated as user
configurations.
When you use in-service software downgrade (ISSU) to upgrade to Cisco NX-OS Release 5.2, the policy
attached to the control plane is treated as a user-configured policy. Check the CoPP profile using the show
copp profile command and make any required changes.
If you use ISSU to downgrade from Cisco NX-OS Release 5.2, CoPP reports the incompatible configuration
and instructs you to clone the CoPP profile. In the lower version, all configurations are restored in
user-configuration mode.
This command does not require a license.
