Aruba 7200 Series Controllers 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 1 - The Aruba 7200 controller chassis
Figure 1 shows the front of the Aruba 7200 Controller, and illustrates the following:
 Four 10GBase-X (SFP+) Ethernet ports
 Two Dual-Purpose Gigabit Uplink Ports
 LINK/ACT and Status LEDs
 Management/Status LED
 LCD Panel and Navigation Buttons (Functionally disabled in FIPS mode)
 Console Connections - RJ-45 and Mini-USB (Disabled in FIPS mode by TELs)
 Expansion Slot (Functionally disabled in FIPS mode).
The Aruba 7210, 7220, and 7240 are identical in terms of outward appearance and definition of the
cryptographic boundary. Differences between the models are internal and are related to CPU capacity
and speed.
