Traffic Class Guidelines
The maximum number of traffic classes of all types is 255 in single mode or per context in multiple
mode. Class maps include the following types:
• Layer 3/4 class maps (for through traffic and management traffic).
• Inspection class maps
• Regular expression class maps
• match commands used directly underneath an inspection policy map
This limit also includes default traffic classes of all types, limiting user-configured traffic classes to
approximately 235. See the “Default Traffic Classes” section on page 1-8.
Service Policy Guidelines
• Interface service policies take precedence over the global service policy for a given feature. For
example, if you have a global policy with FTP inspection, and an interface policy with TCP
normalization, then both FTP inspection and TCP normalization are applied to the interface.
However, if you have a global policy with FTP inspection, and an interface policy with FTP
inspection, then only the interface policy FTP inspection is applied to that interface.
