Select the System: Administration menu option.
Check FIPS Mode to enable FIPS mode on boot, and check Reboot to safely reboot the console
server.
Click Apply and the Console Server will now reboot. It will take several minutes to reconnect as
secure communications with your browser are validated. When reconnected it will display "FIPs
mode: Enabled" in the banner.
Note:
To enable FIPS mode from the command line, login and run these commands:
config -s config.system.fips=on
touch /etc/config/FIPS
chmod 444 /etc/config/FIPS
flatfsd -b
The final command saves to flash and reboots the unit. The unit will take a few minutes to boot
into FIPS mode. To disable FIPS mode:
config -d config.system.fips
rm /etc/config/FIPS
flatfsd –b
