IPv6 First Hop Security Components
IPv6 First Hop Security includes the following features:
• IPv6 First Hop Security Common

• IPv6 Source Guard
These components can be enabled or disabled on VLANs.
There are two empty, pre-defined policies per each feature with the following

is not attached to a user-defined policy and the second one is connected to each
interface and VLAN that is not attached to a user-defined policy. These policies
cannot be attached explicitly by the user. See Policies, Global Parameters and
System Defaults.
