are done. Otherwise, activate the policy map on one or more interfaces.
service-policy policymap_name {global | interface interface_name}
Example:
hostname(config)# service-policy global_policy global
The global keyword applies the policy map to all interfaces, and interface applies the policy to one
interface. Only one global policy is allowed. You can override the global policy on an interface by
applying a service policy to that interface. You can only apply one policy map to each interface.
IPv6 Inspection
IPv6 inspection lets you selectively log or drop IPv6 traffic based on the extension header. In addition,
IPv6 inspection can check conformance to RFC 2460 for type and order of extension headers in IPv6
packets.

Defaults for IPv6 Inspection
If you enable IPv6 inspection and do not specify an inspection policy map, then the default IPv6

Through inspection policy map, you must remove the IPsec Pass Through inspection with the no
