FIPS compliance

The device supports the FIPS mode that complies with NIST FIPS 140-2 requirements. Support for features,
commands, and parameters might differ in FIPS mode and non-FIPS mode. For more information about
FIPS mode, see the Security Configuration Guide.
Unless otherwise noted, devices in the configuration examples are operating in non-FIPS mode.
What is CLI?
The command line interface (CLI) enables you to interact with your device by typing text commands. At
the CLI, you can instruct your device to perform a given task by typing a text command and then pressing
Enter. Compared with the graphical user interface (GUI) where you can use a mouse to perform
configurations, the CLI allows you to input more information in one command line.
