Displaying Board Status
To get the current status of a Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 board, issue the show
status command. This displays the hardware and firmware versions for that board,
the MAC address of the network interface, the status (Up versus Down, speed,
duplex, and so on.) of the network interface, and the keystore name and ID.
Determining if the Board is Operating in FIPS 140-2 Mode
If the Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 board is operating in FIPS 140-2 mode, the show
status command will print the following line:
If the board is not operating in FIPS 140-2 mode, the show status command will not
print a line specifying FIPS 140-2 mode.
You can also use the kstat(1M) utility to determine if the board is operating in FIPS
140-2 mode. The kstat(1M) parameter, vs-mode, returns a value of FIPS if the board
is operating in FIPS 140-2 mode. Refer to “Sun Crypto Accelerator 4000 Cryptographic
and Ethernet Driver Operating Statistics” on page 43 and the online manual page and
for kstat(1M).
