Physical Security

The Aruba Mobility Controller is a scalable, multi-processor standalone network device and is enclosed in a
robust steel housing. The switch enclosure is resistant to probing and is opaque within the visible spectrum.
The enclosure of the switch has been designed to satisfy FIPS 140-2 Level 2 physical security requirements.
To protect the Aruba 620 and 650 Mobility Controllers from any tampering with the product, TELs should be
applied by the Crypto Officer as covered under

Operational Environment

The operational environment is non-modifiable. The control plane Operating System (OS) is Linux, a real-
time, multi-threaded operating system that supports memory protection between processes. Access to the
underlying Linux implementation is not provided directly. Only Aruba Networks provided interfaces are
used, and the CLI is a restricted command set.
