FIPS Mode FortiOS 7.0.0 and Above

Hi @joshiamarpreet ,

Yes, you can use FIPS also for FortiOS 7.x.x

https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-How-to-enable-FIPS-CC-mode/ta-p/196629

Please be aware that if you enable or disable FIPS-CC mode, all of the existing configurations are lost.

Backup first: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.2.0/cookbook/702257/configuration-backups

Then use the next guides to enable the feature:

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortimail/6.2.0/cli-reference/785841/fips
https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.2.1/cli-reference/97620/system-fips-cc
https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.0.6/cli-reference/118620/config-system-fips-cc
Then you would need to upload the backup to the FG:

https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-How-to-load-convert-a-FortiGate-configuration-file/ta-p/197247

If you want to disable you will need to restore the firmware default configuration using factoryreset.

Best Regards,

Dear @vdralio

Following link we referred already, it says only certain models/ version are FIPS-CC certified by OEM. 

https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-How-to-enable-FIPS-CC-mode/ta-p/196629

On firewall it is not enabling FIPS mode in factory installed default OS.

Also if we search firmware images page over https://support.fortinet.com, FIPS-CC images are available till version 6.2 only.

Please guide on how to enable it on ver 7.x.x and above. Is TAC required to intervene and provide some custom image for us?
