2 Overview
The HPE Networking devices are suitable for a range of uses: at the edge of a network,
connecting server clusters in a data center, in an enterprise LAN core, and in large-scale industrial
networks and campus networks. Each device is based on the HPE Comware Software, Version
7.1.045 platform.
The HPE FlexNetwork 5130EI, 5130HI, 5510HI and HPE FlexFabric 5930 Switch Series modules
are being validated as a multi-chip standalone module at FIPS 140-2 Security Level 1.

1. Management: supports various login methods and configuration interfaces for managing the
system.
2. Communication: supports interoperation between the communication protocols at different
layers in the protocol stack, such as 802.3, PPP, and IP, and uses the forwarding function to
receive/send packets for the local device and forward packets for other devices.
To ensure security, the security function provides appropriate access control for the cryptographic
module to identify and authenticate the external entities attempting to access them, and authorize
the external entities that pass the identification and authentication. The access control function also
records the external entities’ accesses to the services, such as the beginning time and end time of
a visit. The figure above shows how administrators (crypto officer, user role) and network users
access to a cryptographic module service.
M2: The administrator accesses the management service to configure the security function.
M1: The administrator accesses the management service to configure the communication service.
C1: The security function issues the forwarding control ACL or other control measures to the
forwarding function for security processing like packet filtering.
D2: The communication service uses the forwarding function to receive and send packets for the
local device.
C2: The communication service issues routing entries or MAC address entries to the forwarding
function for forwarding packets for other devices.
A1: The administrator connects to a physical management interface (the console for example) of
the cryptographic module to access the system management access control service of the security
function. If the access succeeds, the l1 access to the management service is authorized. The
security function uses the C3 authorization action to authorize the administrator administrative roles.
I1: The administrator accesses the management service through the physical management
interface.
A2: The administrator connects to a network interface (such as an Ethernet interface) of the
cryptographic module to access the system management access control service of the security
function. If the access succeeds, the I2 access to the management service is authorized.
I2: The administrator accesses the management service through the network interface.
A3: A network user connects to a network interface of the cryptographic module to access the
communication access control service of the security function. If the access succeeds, D1/D2 are
authorized. The security function uses the C4 authorization action to authorize the network user
the communication service access privilege, namely, the network access privilege.
D1: Forwarding packets for the network user.
To facilitate cryptographic module management, the administrator is allowed to access the system
management service by remote login through a network interface. To prevent the authentication
data of the administrator (such as the username and password) from being intercepted and prevent
the operation commands from being tampered, the cryptographic module provides the
SSH2/HTTPS for secure remote management.
For the management service, the cryptographic module defines predefined roles and custom user
roles, which service differs as result of different access permissions.
Each user can switch to a different user role without reconnecting to the device. To switch to a
different user role, a user must provide the role switching authentication information. The

authentication is identity-based. All users can be authenticated locally, and optionally supports
authentication via a RADIUS and TACACS+ server.
If needed, IPSec can be configured to protect the network data.
No external programs can take control of the cryptographic module, because the cryptographic
module does not provide the general-purpose computing service. This ensures the absolute control
of the cryptographic module.

5 Roles, Services, and Authentication
5.1 Roles
The HPE FlexNetwork 5130EI, 5130HI, 5510HI and HPE FlexFabric 5930 Switch Series provides
18 predefined roles and 64 custom user roles. There are 16 roles (0) in the device that operators
may assume:
 network-admin, level-15, level-9 and security-audit which are the FIPS Crypto-Officer Role,
 network-operator, level 0 ~ level 8, level 10 ~ level 14 and 64 custom user roles which are
defined as the FIPS User Role.
Table 3 presents the roles and roles description. The devices allow multiple management users
to operate the appliance simultaneously.
The HPE Networking switches do not employ a maintenance interface and do not have a
maintenance role.

5.2 Authentication Mechanisms
HPE networking devices support identity-based authentication, and role-based access control.
 Identity-based authentication
Each user is authenticated upon initial access to the device. The authentication is identity-
based. All users can be authenticated locally, and optionally supports authentication via a
RADIUS and TACACS+ server.
To logon to the appliances, an operator must connect to it through one of the management
interfaces (console port, SSH) and provide a password.
A user must be authenticated using usernames and passwords. The minimum password
length is 15 characters, and the maximum is 63. The passwords must contain at least one
lower case letter (26), one upper case letter (26), one special character (32) and one numeric
character (10). The remaining eleven characters can be a lower case letter (26), an upper
case letter (26), a special character (32) and/or a numeric character (10) equaling 94
possibilities per character. Therefore, for a 15 characters password, the probability of
randomly guessing the correct sequence is 1 in 3.16228xE^292
(this calculation is based on
the use of the typical standard American QWERTY computer keyboard).
In order to guess the password in 1 minute with close to probability 1 requires 3.16228xE^29
trials, which is stronger than the one in a million chance required by FIPS 140-2. By default,
the maximum number of consecutive failed login attempts is three and a user failing to log in
after the specified number of attempts must wait for one minute before trying again. Using
Anderson’s formula to calculate the probability of guessing a password in 1 minute:
 P probability of guessing a password in specified period of time
 G number of guesses tested in 1 time unit
 T number of time units
2
Calculation is: 94^15 (total combinations of alpha, numeric, and special characters) - 68^15 (combinations with no
uppercase letters) - 68^15 (combinations with no lowercase letters) - 84^15 (combinations with no numbers) - 62^15
(combinations with no special characters) + 42^15 (combinations with no uppercase letters and no lowercase letters) +
60^15 (combinations with no uppercase letters and no numbers) + 36^15 (combinations with no uppercase letters and no
special characters) + 60^15 (combinations with no lowercase letters and no numbers) + 36^15 (combinations with no
lowercase letters and no special characters) + 52^15 (combinations with no numbers and no special characters) - 24^15
(combinations with only uppercase letters) - 24^15 (combinations with only lowercase letters) - 10^15 (combinations with
only numbers) - 32^15 (combinations with only special characters) ≈ 3.16228xE^29
Calculation without text:
94^15 - 68^15 - 68^15 - 84^15 - 62^15 + 42^15 + 60^15 + 36^15 + 60^15 + 36^15 + 52^15 - 24^15 - 24^15 - 10^15 -
32^15 ≈ 3.16228xE^29

Switch Series
Page 27 of 75
 N number of possible passwords
Then P >= T x G / N (9.48682E-30 = 1 x 3 / 3.16228xE^29)
The probability of guessing a password in 1 minute is 9.48682E-30.
To provide additional password security, Comware 7.1 provides additional limits to the number
of consecutive failed login attempts. If an FTP or VTY user fails authentication, the system
adds the user to a password control blacklist. If a user fails to provide the correct password
after the specified number of consecutive attempts, the system can take one of the following
actions, based on the administrator’s choice:
Blocks the user's login attempts until the user is manually removed from the password
control blacklist.
Blocks the user's login attempts within a configurable period of time, and allows the
user to log in again after the period of time elapses or the user is removed from the
password control blacklist.
HPE Networking devices can also use certificate credentials using 2048 bit RSA keys and
SHA-256; in such a case the security strength is 112 bits, so an attacker would have a 1 in
2^112 chance of a successful authentication which is much stronger than the one in a million
chance required by FIPS 140-2. Certificate credentials using ECDSA keys with curves (P224,
P-256, P-384, or P-521) and SHA algorithms (SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512) are
also available and provide a minimum of 112 bits security.
The users who try to log in or switch to a different user privilege level can be authenticated by
RADIUS and TACACS+ Server. The minimum password length is 15 characters, and the
maximum is 63. Therefore, for a 15 characters password, the probability of randomly guessing
the correct sequence is one in 3.16228xE^29. The device (RADIUS client) and the RADIUS
server use a shared key to authenticate RADIUS packets and encrypt user passwords
exchanged between them. For more details, see RFC 2865: 3 Packet Format Authenticator
field and 5.2 User-password.
 Role-based access control
In HPE Comware 7.1.045, the command and resource access permissions are assigned to
roles.
Users are given permission to access a set of commands and resources based on the users'
user roles. Each user can have one or more roles. The user may alternate between authorized
roles after first authenticating to the module.

6 Services, Key / CSP and Algorithm Tables
Assumptions, Assertions and Caveats
1. The preferred approach is to link Services to Keys/CSPs, Keys/CSPs to Algorithms and Algorithms to Services. When linkage is completed, there is a continuous loop among the
three tables.
2. For linking the tables together, the goals are:
 Confirm every Algorithm is listed at least once by a service.
 Provide a direct mapping of the algorithm to each service that uses it.
 Confirm every CSP is listed at least once by a service
 Provide a direct mapping of the service to each CSP that it uses.
 Provide a quick and easy way for the reviewer to navigate among the tables.

6.1 Services
Assumptions, Assertions and Caveats
1. The services table is the main focus of the validation. Preferably, it should be listed before the CSP and Algorithm tables.
2. Each service should map to the Key(s) / CSP(s) used by the service. It is not required that each service map to a Key / CSP.
3. Each service should be uniquely identifiable so the entries in the Algorithm Table can easily map to a service.

6.2 Critical Security Parameters
4
Critical security parameter (CSP): security-related information (e.g., secret and private cryptographic keys, and authentication data such as passwords and PINs) whose
disclosure or modification can compromise the security of a cryptographic module.5
Assumptions, Assertions and Caveats
1. Preferably, the Key / CSP Table should be listed after the Services Table.
2. Each Key(s) / CSP(s) must be mapped to by a service. A Key / CSP cannot exist unless associated with a service.
3. Each Key / CSP should be uniquely identifiable so the entries in the Services Table can easily map to a Key / CSP.
4. The DH key pairs should be 2 entries in the table. One for the public key and one for the private key – since the key lengths are different
 Each public key should be in its own row.
 Each private key should be in its own row.
5. For all RSA keys, state whether it is used for key transport or signature generation/verification.
 Key transport should be in its own row.
 Signature generation/verification should be in its own row.
6. Where possible, group Key / CSP together e.g. Keys associated with a protocol should be grouped together.
KEY / CSP Table Column Definitions
1. Key / CSP #
Unique identifier of CSP
2. Key or CSP Name
Objective of this column is the list the type of key or CSP used by the cryptographic module.
 To avoid confusion wherever possible it is recommended that the name of the key/CSP be consistent with a recognized industry standard such as ISO, IETF or NIST Special
Publication.
4
FIPS Pub 140-2
5
In Comware, CSPs generated in FIPS mode cannot be used in non-FIPS mode, and vice versa.
FIPS 140-2 Non-Proprietary Security Policy for HPE FlexNetwork 5130EI, 5130HI, 5510HI and HPE FlexFabric 5930 Switch Series
Page 45 of 75
3. Key/CSP Type & Algorithm Link
Objective of this column is to provide additional information about the CSP.
 Where applicable this column shall include the type of key/CSP, algorithm(s) (including reference to FIPS or NIST SP).
 The Algorithm link points to the Algorithm in the Algorithm table the Key/CSP uses.
4. Key size
Size of the key used by the CSP.
5. Use
The objective of this column is to provide information on how the key is used during cryptographic module operation.
 This column should contain a short description of the Key/CSP.
 It is important that each CSP is mapped directly from an Approved service that the cryptographic module performs.
 For all RSA keys, this column shall specify whether it is used for key transport or signature generation/verification
6. Generation/Input
The objective of this column is to specify how and when the CSP is generated, derived or enters the module.
 If the CSP is generated or derived, this column shall specify the function or technique responsible.
 If the CSP is entered, the column shall specify if the CSP is entered electronically or manually.
 The column shall specify if it is stored encrypted or in plaintext form.
 If the CSP is ephemeral this column shall specify conditions upon which it is generated (A cryptographic key is called ephemeral if it is generated for each execution of a key
establishment process.).
7. Storage
The objective of this column is to specify where the CSP is stored during cryptographic module operation.
 The column shall also state the location and type of storage.
 The column shall state if the CSP is persistent, ephemeral or hardcoded.

Page 46 of 75
 The column shall specify if it is stored encrypted or in plaintext form.
 The column shall specify if only a pointer or reference to the CSP is stored or the actual CSP.
8. Output
The objective of this column is to specify if the CSP can be output from the cryptographic module.
 If the CSP can be output, the column shall specify how it can be output.
 If the CSP can be output, the column shall specify if it is encrypted or plaintext form.
9. Zeroization
The objective of this column is to provide details on how the CSP shall be zeroized.
 All possible zeroization techniques for the CSP shall be listed.

6.3 Approved Algorithms
Assumptions, Assertions and Caveats
1. Each instantiation of the algorithm should be in a separate table
 e.g. kernel, firmware, accelerators
 e.g. chassis / controller
2. Each instantiation of the algorithm should be uniquely identifiable so the Key / CSP can easily map to an algorithm.
3. Include a reference to the FIPS 140-2 approved standard for each algorithm. One example is to use a footnote.
4. The ECB mode is required for all other AES modes. The ECB mode should be listed as not used by the module if ECB is only used to support the other modes. If the ECB mode is
used by one or more services, it should be listed as available. Although ECB is the basis for all other AES modes, it is latent functionality if there is no service that uses it.
5. Each instantiation of the algorithm must map to the service that uses it.
6. To expedite the review process, each instantiation of the algorithm should have a hyperlink to the CAVP page that contains the certification listing.
7. It is important to identify which algorithms are used by the module and which are not. All functionality listed on the CAVP certificate should be detailed somewhere in the tables,
footnotes, or text of the Security Policy. If all of the functionality is used by the module, then all algorithm functionality belongs in the tables. If some functionality is not used by
the module, then the author should determine the best to convey that to the reader. (The Tables use footnotes. But there are other ways to convey this information.)
Algorithm Table Column Definitions
1. Algorithm #
Unique identifier of the algorithm. Each instantiation should be uniquely identified.
2. CAVP Certificate
Objective of this column is identify the CAVP certificate.
 The certificate number should be listed.
 A hyperlink should be create to the CAVP website to the certificate number.
3. Algorithm
Objective of this column is identify the Algorithm in use.
 The algorithm name should be consistent with the names list on the Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) website.
FIPS 140-2 Non-Proprietary Security Policy for HPE FlexNetwork 5130EI, 5130HI, 5510HI and HPE FlexFabric 5930 Switch Series
Page 58 of 75
 The acronym may be used instead of the full name.
 Include a reference to the FIPS 140-2 approved standard for each algorithm.
4. Mode / Method
Objective of this column is identify the Mode / Method used by the algorithm.
5. Key Lengths, Curves or Moduli
Objective of this column is identify the Key Lengths, Curves or Moduli used by the algorithm.
6. Use
Objective of this column is identify the use of the algorithm.
7. Service that uses Algorithm
Objective of this column is identify the services that use the algorithm.
 A cross reference should be made to the unique identifier in a services table
 The cross reference should contain a hyperlink to the entry in a services table.
 The relationship of algorithm to service maybe one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many.

7 Self-Tests
HPE Networking devices include an array of self-tests that are run during startup and during
operations to prevent any secure data from being released and to insure all components are
functioning correctly.
7.1 Power-On Self-Tests
The following table lists the power-on self-tests implemented by the switches. The switches
perform all power-on self-tests automatically at boot. All power-on self-tests must be passed
before any role can perform services. The power-on self-tests are performed prior to the
initialization of the forwarding function, which prevents the security appliance from passing any
data during a power-on self-test failure.

8 Delivery and Operation
8.1 Secure Delivery
To ensure no one has tampered with the goods during delivery, inspect the Networking switch
physical package and check as follows:
1. Outer Package Inspection
1) Check that the outer carton is in good condition.
2) Check the package for a HPE Quality Seal or IPQC Seal, and ensure that it is
intact.
3) Check that the IPQC seal on the plastic bag inside the carton is intact.
4) If any check failed, the goods shall be treated as dead-on-arrival (DOA) goods.
2. Packing List Verification
Check against the packing list for discrepancy in material type and quantity. If any
discrepancy found, the goods shall be treated as DOA goods.
3. External Visual Inspection
Inspect the cabinet or chassis for any defects, loose connections, damages, and illegible
marks. If any surface defect or material shortage found, the goods shall be treated as
DOA goods.
4. Confirm Software/firmware
1) Version verification
To verify the software version, start the appliance, view the self-test result during
startup, and use the display version command to check that the software version.
 For the 5130EI, “HPE Comware Software, Version 7.1.045, Release
R3113” indicates it is a FIPS 140-2 and CC certification version.
 For the 5130HI, “HPE Comware Software, Version 7.1.045, Release
R1120P05” indicates it is a FIPS 140-2 and CC certification version.
 For the 5510HI, “HPE Comware Software, Version 7.1.045, Release
R1120” indicates it is a FIPS 140-2 and CC certification version.
 For the 5930, “HPE Comware Software, Version 7.1.045, Release
R2423” indicates it is a FIPS 140-2 and CC certification version.
If software loading failed or the version information is incorrect, please contact
HPE for support.
2) RSA with SHA-256 verification
To verify that software/firmware has not been tampered, run SHA Hash command
on the appliance. If the hash value is different from release notes of this software,
contact HPE for support. To get release notes, please access HPE website.
5. DOA (Dead on Arrival)
If the package is damaged, any label/seal is incorrect or tampered, stop
unpacking the goods, retain the package, and report to HPE for further
investigation. The damaged goods will be replaced if necessary.

8.2 Secure Operation
The rules for securely operating an HPE Networking switch in FIPS mode are:
1. Install and connect the device according to the installation and configuration guides.
2. Start the device, and enter the configuration interface.
3. Check and configure the clock.
4. By default, the device does not run in FIPS mode. Enable the device to work in FIPS
mode using the fips mode enable command in system view. This will allow the switch
to internally enforce FIPS-compliance behavior, such as run power-up self-test and
conditional self-test.
5. Set up username/password for crypto officer role. The password must comprise no less
than 15 characters and must contain uppercase and lowercase letters, digits, and
special characters.
6. Save the configurations and re-start the device.
The device works in FIPS mode after restarting:
1. Configure the security appliance to use SSHv2.
An operator can determine whether a switch is in FIPS mode with the command display fips
status. When in FIPS mode:
1. The FTP/TFTP server is disabled.
2. The Telnet server is disabled.
3. The HTTP/S server is disabled.
4. SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c are disabled. Only SNMP v3 is available.
5. The SSH server does not support SSHv1 clients
6. Generated RSA key pairs have a modulus length 2048 bits.
7. Generated ECDSA key pairs with curves P-256, P-384 and P-521.
8. SSHv2, SNMPv3 and IPsec and do not support Non-FIPS approved cryptographic
algorithms.
