Conguring Management Port 2 using RACADM
To specify Redundant operation, use racadm config –g cfgNetTuning –o cfgNetTuningNicRedundant 1
command.
To specify Stacking operation, use racadm config –g cfgNetTuning –o cfgNetTuningNicRedundant 0 command.
By default, the Management Port 2 is set for Stacking.
Federal Information Processing Standards
The agencies and contractors of the Federal government of the United States use Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS),
a computer security standard, which is related to all applications that have communicative interfaces. The 140–2 comprises of four
levels — Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4. The FIPS 140–2 series stipulate that all communicative interfaces must have the
following security properties:
• authentication
• condentiality
• message integrity
• non-repudiation
• availability
• access control
If any of the properties depend on cryptographic algorithms, then FIPS must approve these algorithms.
By default, the FIPS mode is disabled. When FIPS is enabled, the minimum key size for OpenSSL FIPS is SSH-2 RSA 2048 bits.
NOTE: PSU rmware update is not supported when the FIPS mode is enabled in the chassis.
For more information, see CMC Online Help.
The following features/applications support FIPS.
• Web GUI
• RACADM
• WSMan
• SSH v2
• SMTP
• Kerberos
• NTP Client
• NFS
NOTE: SNMP is not FIPS-compliant. In FIPS mode, all SNMP features except Message Digest algorithm version 5
(MD5) authentication work.
Enabling FIPS Mode Using CMC Web Interface
To enable FIPS:
1. In the left pane, click Chassis Overview.
The Chassis Health page is displayed.
2. On the menu bar, click Network.
The Network Conguration page is displayed.
3. Under the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) section, from the FIPS Mode drop-down menu, select Enabled.
A message is displayed that enabling FIPS resets CMC to the default settings.
4. Click OK to proceed.
