FIPS Cryptography

Dell Networking OS supports federal information processing standard (FIPS) cryptography.

This chapter describes how to enable FIPS cryptography requirements on Dell Networking platforms. This feature provides cryptographic algorithms conforming to various FIPS standards published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a non-regulatory agency of the US Department of Commerce. FIPS mode is also validated for numerous platforms to meet the FIPS-140-2 standard for a software-based cryptographic module.

  • NOTE: For the Dell Networking OS version 8.3.12.0, only the SSH and SCP copy features use FIPS Cryptographic mode to secure management interface user sessions and file transfers. Other features that use cryptographic algorithms do not, or cannot, use FIPS mode. You must configure the management interfaces to limit access to/from the system to SSH alone.
