17 3.3 Modes of Operat ion The module has the following FIPS ap proved modes of operations: • Remote AP ( RAP) FIP S mode – When the module is co nfigured as a Remote AP, it is intended to be deplo yed in a remote location (relative to the Mobilit y Controller). T he module provides cryptographic processing i n the form of IP Sec for all traffi[...]

18 5. Enable FIP S mode o n the AP. This accomplished b y going to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration > AP Group p age. There, you click the E dit button for the appropriate AP group, and then select AP > AP Syste m Profile. Then, check the “Fips Enable” bo x, check “ Apply”, and save the configuration. 6. If the st[...]

19 6. If the staging controller does not pr ovide PoE, either ens ure the presence of a P oE injector for the LAN co nnection between the module and the controller , o r ens ure the prese nc e o f a D C po wer supply appropriate to the particular model of the module 7. Connect the module via an Ethernet cable to the sta ging controller; note that t[...]

20 represents the o nly exception. That is, nothing o ther than a P oE injector should be present between the module and the sta ging controller. 8. Once the module is connected to the controller by the Ethernet cable, navigate to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Installa tion page, where you sho uld see an entry for the AP. Select that AP, [...]

23 4 Roles, Authentication and Ser vices 4.1 Roles The module supports the roles of Cr ypto Officer, User, and Wireless Client; no add itional roles (e.g., Maintenance) are supported . Administrative oper ations car ried out b y the Aruba Mobility Controller map to the Crypto O fficer role. T he Crypto Officer ha s the ability to configure, manage [...]

24 4.1.2 User Authentication Authentication for the User role depends on the module co nfiguration. When the module is configured as a Mesh AP , the User role is authenticated via the WP A2 preshared key. Whe n the module i s configured as a Remote AP, the User role is authenticated via the same IK E pre -shared key/RSA key pa ir that is used by th[...]
