FIPS BIG-IP 7200v-SSL

The BIP-IP hardware datasheet shows 7200v-SSL supports FIPS SSL (FIPS 140-2 Level 2 (7200v option)*** 9,000 TPS (2K keys); 18 Gbps bulk encryption*). Is there any specific configuration that needs to be done in the 7200v-ssl for enabling this or it is enabled by default?

  • Thanks. I have a few existing private keys and certificates in the Big-IP. Once i enable FIPS will those become unusable? Is there any pre-work i need to do in this case before enabling FIPS?
