Aruba 3000, 6000/M3 Mobility Controller FIPS 140-2 Level 2 Security Policy|7
Physical Description
Cryptographic Module Boundaries
For FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validation, the Controller has been validated as a multi-chip standalone
cryptographic module. The steel chassis physically encloses the complete set of hardware and firmware
components and represents the cryptographic boundary of the controller. The cryptographic boundary is
defined as encompassing the top, front, left, right, rear, and bottom surfaces of the chassis.

Figure 1shows the front of the Aruba 6000 controller chassis, and illustrates the following:
 In each Aruba 6000-400-F1 or Aruba 6000-400-USF1 controller chassis:
 One M3mk1-S-F1 card is required to be installed in slot 0.
 Up to three Aruba line cards (the combination of LC-2G-1, LC-2G24F-1, LC-2G24FP-1, or
M3mk1-S-F1) can be installed in slots 1, 2 and 3 respectively
Table 1 below lists a detailed line cards configuration in a single Aruba 6000-400-F1 or Aruba 6000-400-
USF1 controller chassis.
