Module Name
Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches
Historical Reason
SP 800-56Arev3 transition - replaced by certificate #4494
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode, installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 3 of the Security Policy. This module contains the embedded module 'ACT2Lite Cryptographic Module' validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #3637 operating in FIPS mode
Security Level Exceptions
- Roles, Services, and Authentication: Level 3
- Design Assurance: Level 2
- Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Switches are stackable enterprise switching platform built for security, IoT, mobility, and cloud. The switches meet FIPS 140-2 overall Level 1 requirements as multi-chip standalone modules. The modules include cryptographic algorithms implemented in IOS-XE software as well as hardware ASIC. Advanced security feature supports MACsec encryption, hardware anchored secure boot and Secure Unique Device Identification (SUDI) support.
