An engineer implements QoS in the enterprise network. Which command is used to verity the classification and marking on a Cisco IOS switch?

The command show policy-map interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 displays the policy map that is actually bound to the port and, crucially, the runtime counters for every class-map. These counters appear only after packets have been classified and any “set” actions (DSCP/COS marking) have been executed, letting an engineer verify that traffic is entering the intended class and that marking is occurring as configured.

A. show class-map interface … – not a valid IOS syntax; even show class-map shows only definitions, no live statistics or markings.
C. show access-lists – provides ACL match counters; does not reveal QoS classes or DSCP/COS modifications.
D. show policy-map – lists policy contents globally but lacks per-interface packet counters needed to confirm real classification/marking.
