FIPS 140-2
PTP 600 provides an optional secure cryptographic mode of operation validated to
Level 2 of Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 140-2.
PTP 600 operates in the FIPS mode when all of the following are true:
• The ODU software image is validated for FIPS operation.
• The ODU license key has AES encryption enabled.
• The ODU license key has FIPS operation enabled.
• The hardware security of the ODU is compatible with operation in the FIPS 140-2
mode.
• The HTTPS/TLS management interface is enabled.
• The HTTP management interface is disabled.
• The Telnet management interface is disabled.
Validated software image
FIPS validated software images are indicated by a FIPS- prefix to the file name, for
example:
FIPS-PTP600-08-50.DLD2. The general features of a FIPS validated software
image are identical to those of the standard image with the same version number. For
example,
FIPS-PTP600-08-50.DLD2 is equivalent to PTP600-08-50.DLD2 apart from the
ability of the FIPS image to operate in FIPS mode.
