On all platforms, from the shell prompt, enter the following commands: mount -o remount,rw,noatime / mount /dev/hda2 /mnt 6. Verify the FIPS configuration by typing the following at the command prompt: /fabos/abin/fipscfg --showall 7. If FIPS mode is 'Enabled', reset it by typing the following at the command prompt: /fabos/abin/fipscfg --disable fips 8. If Selftests mode is Enabled/None or Enabled/Pass or Enabled/Failed, reset it by typing the following at the command prompt: fipscfg --disable selftests 9. Reboot the active system by typing the reboot command. 10. Login to the switch or Active CP as admin or securityAdmin, and verify that the FIPS and SELFTESTS modes have been reset by typing the fipscfg --showall command. 11.

You can run the command fipscfg --enable, to enable FIPS mode. Self-tests mode needs to be enabled, before FIPS mode can be enabled. A set of pre-requisites as mentioned in the table below needs to be satisfied for the system to enter FIPS mode. See the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual for additional FIPS related commands. To be FIPS-compliant, the switch needs to be rebooted. KATs will be run on the reboot. If the KATs are successful, the switch will enter FIPS mode. If KATs fail, then the switch will reboot until the KATs succeed. You will need to access the switch in single-user mode to break the reboot cycle. Only FIPS compliant algorithms will be run at this stage.
