Installing the FIPS license
FIPS mode requires a FIPS license.
• For CX580, CX780, and CX3080 appliances, the FIPS license is part of the Enterprise tier.
• For CX5080 and CX7080 appliances, the FIPS license is included with the standard license package (license group 1).
• For x70 and xx70 appliances, the FIPS license is a separate license. You receive a FIPS license when you purchase the FIPS option. If you did not receive your FIPS license, contact your Riverbed Sales Representative.
• For SteelHead-v models VCX30-110, the FIPS license is included.
To install an individual FIPS license, connect to the CLI and enter these commands:
amnesiac > enable
amnesiac # configure terminal
amnesiac (config) # license install <license-string>
amnesiac (config) # write memory
You can enter the show licenses command to verify that you successfully installed the license on your system:
amnesiac # show licenses
