• CCI-000803 - Implement mechanisms for authentication to a cryptographic module that meet the requirements of applicable laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance for such authentication.
• CCI-001941 - Implement replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for access to privileged accounts and/or non-privileged accounts.
• CCI-000197 - For password-based authentication, transmit passwords only cryptographically-protected channels.
• CCI-002890 - Implement organization-defined cryptographic mechanisms to protect the integrity of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic communications.
• CCI-003123 - Implement organization-defined cryptographic mechanisms to protect the confidentiality of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic communications.
• CCI-004192 - Protect nonlocal maintenance sessions by separating the maintenance session from other network sessions with the system by logically separated communications paths.

Fix Recommendation

Configure the network device to use FIPS 140-2/140-3 approved algorithms for authentication to a cryptographic module.

Use a console session directly attached to the ICX switch to log in:

device(config)#configuration terminal
device(config)# fips enable common-criteria
device# fips zeroize all
device# write memory
device# reload

Check Contents

Verify the FIPS module has been enabled.

Router#fips show
Cryptographic Module Version: FI-IP-CRYPTO
FIPS mode: Administrative status ON: Operational status ON
Common-Criteria: Administrative status ON: Operational status ON

System Specific:
OS monitor access status is: Disabled

Management Protocol Specific:
Telnet server: Disabled
Telnet client: Disabled
TFTP client: Disabled
SNMP Access to security objects: Disabled

Critical security Parameter updates across FIPS boundary:
Protocol Shared secret and host passwords: Clear
Password Display: Disabled

Certificate Specific:
HTTPS RSA Host Keys and Signature: Clear
SSH DSA Host keys: Clear
SSH RSA Host keys: Clear
CC Enable AAA Server Any: Retain

If the fips show command does not output "FIPS mode: Administrative status ON: Operational status ON", this is a finding.
