LX Series Configuration Guide

highlighted.
Figure I.2 Show Version Screen
If the software you are running has been FIPS validated, the
word FIPS 140-2 appears to the right of the Software Version
number and the ppciboot Version number. If FIPS 140-2 does
not appear, your software has not been validated.
Enabling FIPS 140-2 Mode of Operation
L If you enable FIPS 140-2 Security, option [1] Boot
from Network is set to Flash Only automatically.
You can only update from the CLI or GUI while FIPS
140-2 is enabled. Option [4] Update ppciboot
Firmware is disabled when FIPS 140-2 is enabled.
The following passwords must be at least six characters long:
Subscriber
Time: Wed, 21 Feb 2007 14:02:29 US/EASTERN
Linux Kernel Version: x.x.x.x
Linux In-Reach Version: xxx
Software Version (Runtime): x.x.x.x (FIPS 140-2)
Software Version (Flash): x.x.x.x (FIPS 140-2)
Ppciboot Version: x.x.x.x (FIPS 140-2)
IMPORTANT!
If you want to configure your unit to run FIPS 140-2 Mode of Operation, you
must do so before you attempt to configure the unit over and above the
default settings. The act of enabling FIPS 140-2 mode will default the unit’s
configuration.
When FIPS 140-2 is enabled, the configuration file is returned to defaults.
Therefore, if you fully configured your unit and then turned on FIPS 140-2,
your configuration will return to factory defaults. FIPS 140-2 mandates this
to ensure that any passwords with fewer than six characters are purged, and
that all unsupported applications are disabled.
