Before enabling or disabling FIPS approved mode, it is recommended that you keep a complete copy of the gateway’s current running configuration. The gateway’s current running configuration can be viewed by executing the following command:
  • show running-config
Alternatively, the running-config command made be saved to an external text file for later viewing by using one of the following commands:
  • copy running-config ftp <destination_file_name> <ip_address>
  • copy running-config tftp <destination_file_name> <ip_address>
  • copy running-config scp <destination_file_name> <ip_address>
This can be especially helpful when enabling or disabling FIPS approved mode since the gateway configuration will not be able to be restored from a backup made in a different mode.
