Level 2 of Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 140-2.
FIPS 140-2 capability
A PTP 600 unit is capable of operating in the FIPS 140-2 mode when all of the
following are true:
•
The hardware security of the ODU is compatible with operation in the FIPS 140-2
mode.
•
The ODU license key has AES encryption enabled.
•
The ODU license key has FIPS operation enabled.
•
The ODU software image is validated for FIPS operation.
Hardware security
The ODU has compatible hardware security if the part number suffix on the external
