Fix Recommendation

Configure the HP FlexFabric Switch to authenticate OSPFv3 packets:

[HP]ipsec transform-set jitcipsecprop
[HP-ipsec-transform-set-jitcipsecprop]
[HP-ipsec-transform-set-jitcipsecprop] ipsec transform-set jitcipsecprop

Check Contents

Verify the HP FlexFabric Switch configuration to ensure that it is using a NIST validated FIPS 140-2 cryptography encryption mechanism by implementing OSPFv3 with IPsec.

[HP] display current-configuration interface

interface GigabitEthernet0/0
port link-mode route
description R1 ACTIVE
combo enable copper
ospfv3 200 area 0.0.0.0
ospfv3 ipsec-profile jitc
ipv6 address 2115:B:1::3E/126

If the routing protocol authentication mechanism is not a validated FIPS 140-2 cryptography, this is a finding.

Note: OSPFv3 requires IPsec to enable authentication using either the IPv6 Authentication Header (AH) or the Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) header.
