10. Generate IP traffic and verify that it is protected using defined policies.
a. Initiate Telnet or SSH or ping session from BRCD300 to BRCD7500.
b. Verify that the IP traffic is encapsulated.
c. Monitor IPsec SAs created using IKE for the above traffic flow.
• Use the ipsecConfig -–show manual-sa –a command with the operands specified to
display the outbound and inbound SAs in the kernel SADB.
• Use the ipsecConfig –-show policy ips sa -a command with the specified operands
to display all IPsec SA policies.
• Use the ipsecConfig –-show policy ips sa-proposal –a command with the
specified operands to display IPsec proposals.
• Use the ipsecConfig –-show policy ips transform –a command with the specified
operands to display IPsec transforms.
• Use the ipsecConfig –-show policy ips selector –a command with the specified
operands to display IPsec traffic selectors.
• Use the ipsecConfig –-show policy ike –a command with the specified operands to
display IKE policies.
• Use the ipsecConfig –-flush manual-sa command with the specified operands to flush
the created SAs in the kernel SADB.
CAUTION:
to traffic on the tunnel.

FIPS support

Federal information processing standards (FIPS) specify the security standards to be satisfied by a
cryptographic module utilized in Fabric OS 6.0.0 and later to protect sensitive information in the switch. As
part of FIPS 140-2 level 2 compliance passwords, shared secrets and the private keys used in SSL, TLS, and
system login need to be cleared out or zeroized. Power-up self tests (POSTs) are executed when the switch
is powered on to check for the consistency of the algorithms implemented in the switch. Known-answer-tests
(KATs) are used to exercise various features of the algorithm and their results are displayed on the console
for your reference. Conditional tests are performed whenever an RSA key pair is generated. These tests
verify that the randomness of the deterministic (DRNG) and non-deterministic random number generator
(non-DRNG). They also verify that the consistency of RSA keys with regard to signing and verification and
encryption and decryption.
IMPORTANT:

Zeroization functions

Explicit zeroization can be done at the discretion of the security administrator. These functions clear the
passwords and the shared secrets. The

Keys will be zeroized within the code before they
are released from memory.
The secAuthSecret --remove value is used
to remove/zeroize the keys.
The pkiCreate command creates the keys, and
pkiremove removes/zeroizes the keys.
