represents the only exception. That is, nothing other than a PoE injector should be present between the module and the staging controller.

8.Once the module is connected to the controller by the Ethernet cable, navigate to the

Configuration > Wireless > AP Installation page, where you should see an entry for the AP. Select that AP, click the “Provision” button, which will open the provisioning window. Now provision the AP as Remote Mesh Portal by filling in the form appropriately. Detailed steps are listed in Section “Provisioning an Individual AP” of Chapter “The Basic User-Centric Networks” of the Aruba OS User Guide. Click “Apply and Reboot” to complete the provisioning process.

a.During the provisioning process as Remote Mesh Point, if Pre-shared key is selected to be the Remote IP Authentication Method, the IKE pre-shared key (which is at least 8 characters in length) is input to the module during provisioning. Generation of this key is outside the scope of this policy. In the initial provisioning of an AP, this key will be entered in plaintext; subsequently, during provisioning, it will be entered encrypted over the secure IPSec session. If certificate based authentication is chosen, AP’s RSA key pair is used to authenticate AP to controller during IPSec. AP’s RSA private key is contained in the AP’s non volatile memory and is generated at manufacturing time in factory.

b.During the provisioning process as Mesh Point, the WPA2 PSK is input to the module via the corresponding Mesh cluster profile. This key is stored on flash encrypted.

9.Via the logging facility of the staging controller, ensure that the module (the AP) is successfully provisioned with firmware and configuration

10.Terminate the administrative session

11.Disconnect the module from the staging controller, and install it on the deployment network; when power is applied, the module will attempt to discover and connect to an Aruba Mobility Controller on the network.

3.3.5 Verify that the module is in FIPS mode

For all the approved modes of operations in either Remote AP FIPS mode, Control Plane Security AP FIPS Mode, Remote Mesh Portal FIPS mode or Mesh Point FIPS Mode do the following to verify the module is in FIPS mode:

1.Log into the administrative console of the Aruba Mobility Controller

2.Verify that the module is connected to the Mobility Controller

3.Verify that the module has FIPS mode enabled by issuing command “show ap ap-name <ap- name> config”

4.Terminate the administrative session

3.4Operational Environment

The operational environment is non-modifiable. The Operating System (OS) is Linux, a real-time multi- threaded operating system that supports memory protection between processes. Access to the underlying Linux implementation is not provided directly. Only Aruba-provided Crypto Officer interfaces are used. There is no user interface provided.
