Platform and VE FIPS Module and Upgrade Notes
FIPS-validated F5 modules
Only certain F5 modules are FIPS-validated. This means that to maintain FIPS
validation for traffic, you can use only the validated modules. You can
provision and set up other modules and use them for processing traffic, but
traffic that uses any non-validated modules would not be considered
FIPS-validated.
These modules are FIPS-validated:
- Local Traffic Manager™ (LTM)
- Advanced Firewall Manager™ (AFM)
FIPS-validation status and TMOS upgrades
Before you install any software updates or hot fixes, verify the
FIPS validation status of that version on the F5 Certifications page
(www.f5.com/company/certifications). The system allows you to
apply all updates, but if the version has not been validated, your device will
no longer be considered FIPS-validated.
