HP MSR SERIES Command Reference

550
After you execute the fips mode enable command, the system provides the following methods to enter
FIPS mode:
• Automatic reboot
Select the automatic reboot method. The system automatically performs the following tasks:
a. Create a default FIPS configuration file named fips-startup.cfg.
b. Specify the default file as the startup configuration file.
c. Require you to configure the username and password for next login.
You can press Ctrl+C to exit the configuring process so the fips mode enable command will not be
executed.
The system automatically uses the specified startup configuration file to reboot the device after you
configure the administrator's username and password.
• Manual reboot
This method requires that you manually complete the configurations for entering FIPS mode, and
then reboot the device.
To use manual reboot to enter FIPS mode:
d. Enable the password control function globally.
e. Set the number of character types a password must contain to 4, and set the minimum number
of characters for each type to one character.
f. Set the minimum length of user passwords to 15 characters.
g. Add a local user account for device management, including the following items:
− A username.
− A password that must comply with the password control policies.
− A user role of network-admin.
− A service type of terminal.
h. Delete the FIPS-incompliant local user service types Telnet, HTTP, and FTP.
i. Save the configuration file and specify it as the startup configuration file.
j. Delete the original startup configuration file in binary format.
k. Reboot the device.
After the fips mode enable command is executed, the system prompts you to choose a reboot method. If
you do not make a choice within 30 seconds, the system uses the manual reboot method by default.
After the undo fips mode enable command is executed, the system provides the following methods to exit
FIPS mode:
•
Automatic reboot
Select the aut
omatic reboot method. The system automatically creates a default non-FIPS
configuration file named non-fips-startup.cfg, and specifies the file as the startup configuration file.
The system reboots the device by using the default non-FIPS configuration file. After the reboot, you
are directly logged into the device.
• Manual reboot
This method requires that you manually complete the configurations for entering non-FIPS mode,
and then reboot the device. After the device reboots, you must enter user information according to
the authentication mode to log in to the device.
