Configuring Restful Access; Fips Compliance; Configuring Restful Access Over Http; Configuring Restful Access Over Https - HPE FlexFabric 5940 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring RESTful access

The device provides the Representational State Transfer application programming interface
(RESTful API). Based on this API, you can use programming languages such as Python, Ruby, or
Java to write programs to perform the following tasks:
•
Send RESTful requests to the device to pass authentication.
•
Use RESTful API operations to configure and manage the device. RESTful API operations
include Get, Put, Post, and Delete.
The device supports using HTTP or HTTPS to transfer RESTful packets.
RESTful access is disabled by default. To configure RESTful access, you must first log in through the
console port.

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 Security Configuration Guide.
RESTful access over HTTP is not supported in FIPS mode.
