Secure Operation
The MFE E-Series meets Level 2 requirements for FIPS 140-2. The sections below describe how to place
and keep the module in its Approved mode of operation. The use of any interfaces and services not
documented herein are prohibited and considered in violation of this Security Policy, and shall result in the
non-compliant operation of the module.

The Crypto-Officer is responsible for initialization and security-relevant configuration and management of
the module.
Please see McAfee's Administration Guide for more information on configuring and
maintaining the module. The Crypto-Officer receives the module from the vendor via trusted delivery

For appliance setup, the Crypto-Officer receives a FIPS Kit separately, also via trusted delivery service.
The FIPS Kit (part number FRU-686-0089-00) includes the FIPS Kit instructions, a new warranty seal, and
tamper-evident seals.
The Crypto-Officer is responsible for the proper initial setup of the Admin Console Management Tool
software and the cryptographic module. Setup of the Admin Console software is done by installing the
software on an appropriate Windows® workstation (refer to the McAfee Firewall Enterprise version 8.3.1
Product Guide for details regarding installation of management tools) on the same network as the module.
