Parameter

Comments

fips_mode_enable

boolean

The FIPS mode is intended to meet the requirements of FIPS 140-2 level 1. For more information refer to the FIPS user guide

This is applicable only for OpenManage Enterprise Modular only

This is mutually exclusive with restrict_allowed_ip_range and login_lockout_policy.

WARNING Enabling or Disabling this option resets your chassis to default settings. This may cause change in IP settings and loss of network connectivity.

WARNING The FIPS mode cannot be enabled on a lead chassis in a multi-chassis management configuration. To toggle enable FIPS on a lead chassis, delete the chassis group, enable FIPS and recreate the group.

WARNING For a Standalone or member chassis, enabling the FIPS mode deletes any fabrics created. This may cause loss of network connectivity and data paths to the compute sleds.
