Dell OS10 Switch NDM Security Technical Implementation Guide
Title
The Dell OS10 Switch must use FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms for authentication to a cryptographic module.
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not validated and therefore cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DOD data may be compromised. Network devices using encryption are required to use FIPS-compliant mechanisms for authenticating to cryptographic modules. FIPS 140-2 is the current standard for validating that mechanisms used to access cryptographic modules use authentication that meets DOD requiremen...
Fix Text (Documentation Requirement)
Configure the network device to use FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms for authentication to a cryptographic module: OS10(config)# crypto fips enable WARNING: Upon committing this configuration, the system will regenerate SSH keys. Please consult documentation and toggle FIPS mode only if you know what you are doing! Continue? [yes/no(default)]:yes OS10(config)#
