Enabling FIPS encryption - MX

[alphatango]

Hi Team,

Just wondering if I have to do anything special to enable FIPS encryption.

In the past with other vendors, you would set it in FIPS mode and it would wipe/reboot and lock down the firewall.

Not sure if there is anything special I need to do with the Meraki MX.

Let me know,

Thanks,

Take a look at this.

Alternatively, if you’re trying to set up a VPN, you might not need to enable FIPS. Instead, you could configure the IPsec policies with a password greater than 14 characters, ensure Authentication is not MD5, set the Diffie-Hellman Group to 14, ensure Phase 2 encryption is not NULL, and configure PFS to be either off or 14.
