How to Enable and Configure Junos OS in FIPS Mode of Operation
You, as Cryptographic Officer, can enable and configure Junos OS in FIPS mode of operation on your device. Before you begin enabling and configuring FIPS mode of operation on the device:
Verify the secure delivery of your device. See Identifying Secure Delivery.
Apply tamper-evident seals. See Applying Tamper-Evident Seals to the Cryptographic Module.
To enable the Junos OS in FIPS mode of operation, perform the following steps:
-
Zeroize the device before enabling FIPS mode of operation
user@host> request vmhost zerioze -
Enable the FIPS mode on the device.
user@host# set system fips level 2 -
Remove the CSPs on commit check and reboot the device.
user@host# commit -
Run integrity and self-tests on powering on the device when the module is operating in FIPS mode.
-
Configure IKEv2 when AES-GCM is used for encryption of IKE and/or IPSec.
user@host# set security ike proposal <ike_proposal_name> encryption-algorithm ? Possible completions: aes-128-cbc AES-CBC 128-bit encryption algorithm aes-128-gcm AES-GCM 128-bit encryption algorithm aes-192-cbc AES-CBC 192-bit encryption algorithm aes-256-cbc AES-CBC 256-bit encryption algorithm aes-256-gcm AES-GCM 256-bit encryption algorithm user@host# set security ike proposal <ike_proposal_name> encryption-algorithm aes-256-gcm user@host# set security ipsec proposal <ipsec_proposal_name> encryption-algorithm ?

Possible completions: v1-only The connection must be initiated using IKE version 1 v2-only The connection must be initiated using IKE version 2 user@host# set security ike gateway <gateway_name> version v2-only user@host# commit commit complete
-
Ensure that the backup image of the firmware is also a JUNOS-FIPS image by issuing the
request system snapshotcommand.
Note:
The show configuration security ike and show configuration
security ipsec commands display the approved and configured IKE/IPsec
configuration for the device operating in FIPS-approved mode.
