Synopsis fipscfg --enable [ fips | selftests] fipscfg --disable [ fips | selftests] fipscfg --zeroize fipscfg --show | --showall fipscfg --force fips fipscfg --verify fips fipscfg --disable | --enable bootprom Description Use this command to configure FIPS mode in the switch. In this mode, only FIPS compliant algorithms will be allowed. As part of FIPS 140-2 level 2 compliance, passwords, shared secrets and the private keys used in SSL/TLS, system login, etc. need to be zeroized. Power-up self tests will be executed when the switch is powered on to check for the consistency of the algorithms implemented in the switch.

The system must be rebooted for FIPS mode changes to take effect. The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for information on configuring your system for FIPS 140-2 level 2 compliance. FIPS is not supported on all platforms. For FIPS compliant hardware, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. Operands The command takes as input an operand and its associated arguments.
