The Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series, with the latest Cisco IOS XE Software release, supports the new Switch Integrated Security Features (SISF) based on the IPDT feature. It acts as a container policy that enables snooping and device-tracking features available with First-Hop Security (FHS), in both IPv4 and IPv6, using IP-agnostic Command-Line Interface (CLI) commands. See Appendix A for more information on migrating from the IPDT CLI configuration to the new SISFbased device-tracking CLI configuration.<h6 style="box-sizing: border-box; direction: ltr; margin: 0.75rem 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Full Flexible NetFlow</h6>Both the Catalyst 9200 Series and the Catalyst 2960-X Series support Flexible NetFlow.
