NOTE:
• In the interaction stage, you can execute commands from the client by pasting the commands in text
format—the text must be within 2000 bytes. The commands should be in the same view. Otherwise, the
server might not be able to perform the commands correctly.
• If the command text exceeds 2000 bytes, you can execute the commands by saving the text as a
configuration file, uploading the configuration file to the server through Secure FTP (SFTP), and then
using the configuration file to restart the server.
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 (see "Configuring FIPS") and non
-FIPS mode.
