FIPS (PRO 3060/PRO 4060)

When operating in FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) Mode, the SonicWALL supports
FIPS-Compliant security. Among the FIPS-compliant features of the SonicWALL include PRNG based on
SHA-1 and only FIPS-approved algorithms are supported (DES, 3DES, and AES with SHA-1).
Select Enable FIPS Mode to enable the SonicWALL to comply with FIPS. When you check this setting,
a dialog box is displayed with the following message: Warning! Modifying the FIPS mode will
disconnect all users and restart the device. Click OK to proceed. Click Clicking Boot next to any
firmware image overwrites the existing current firmware image making it the Current Firmware image. The
SonicWALL reboots in FIPS Mode.
To return to normal operation, uncheck the Enable FIPS Mode check box. The SonicWALL reboots into
non-FIPS mode.
Alert! When using the SonicWALL for FIPS-compliant operation, the tamper-evident sticker that is affixed to
the SonicWALL must remain in place and untouched.
System>Diagnostics
The SonicWALL has several diagnostic tools which help troubleshoot network problems. Click System
on the menu bar, and then click Diagnostics.
