Introduction

Purpose

This document is a nonproprietary Cryptographic Module Security Policy
for the Enterasys Networks XSR-1805, XSR-1850, and XSR-3250
appliances. This security policy describes how the XSR-1805, XSR-1850,
and XSR-3250

meet the security requirements of FIPS 140-2 and how to

run the modules in a secure FIPS 140-2 mode. This policy was prepared
as part of the Level 2 FIPS 140-2 validation of the module.

FIPS 140-2 (Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 140-2
— Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules) details the U.S.
Government requirements for cryptographic modules. More information
about the FIPS 140-2 standard and validation program is available on the
NIST Web site at

http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/

The Enterasys Networks XSR-1805, XSR-1850, and XSR-3250
appliances are referenced in this document as X-Pedition Security
Routers, XSR modules, and the modules. The XSR-1805 and XSR-1850
modules are also referenced as the XSR-18xx modules. The differences
between the three modules are cited where appropriate.
