CC and FIPS for IB-4015, IB-4025, IB-V4015, and IB-V4025
The Infoblox IB-4015, IB-4025, IB-V4015, and IB-V4025 appliances can be made compliant with CC (Common Criteria) and FIPS (Federal
Information Processing Standard) 140-2 security standards. Both CC and FIPS give assurance that the product satisfies a set of internationally
recognized security measures. CC is a set of rules and specifications to evaluate the security of Information Technology (IT) products. FIPS is a
U.S government computer security standard that is designed to validate product modules that use cryptography. This is necessary to maintain the
integrity and confidentiality of the end-user information that is stored, processed, and transferred by the product module. To ensure that your
appliance is CC and FIPS compliant, make sure that your hardware and software settings match the evaluated configuration that was certified for
both CC and FIPS. For information about how to configure CC and FIPS, refer to the .Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide
Infoblox provides tamper evident FIPS labels that you must affix on the HDD cover, all PSU and fan canisters, over the IPMI port of the appliance
to make it FIPS compliant. You must install the FIPS tamper evident labels correctly onto the device for compliance with FIPS. This label is valid
for Infoblox IB-4015 and IB-4025 appliances only. Note that these labels are not required for CC.
Clean the chassis before affixing tamper evident FIPS labels. Apply these labels as shown in the figures below:
