Prerequisites for Configuring FIPS
Install and activate the asr9k-k9sec-px.pie file.
You must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. The command reference guides include the task IDs required for each command.
If you suspect user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator for assistance.
Installing and Activating the PIE
The Package Installation Envelope (PIE) files, are installable software files with the .pie extension. PIE files are used to copy one or more software components onto the router. A PIE may contain a single component, a group of components (called a package), or a set of packages (called a composite package).
Use the show install committed command in EXEC mode to verify the committed software packages.
You must install and activate the asr9k-k9sec-px.pie file to configure FIPS. To install and activate the PIE, download the asr9k-k9sec-px.pie to a TFTP server.
For more information about installing PIEs, refer to Upgrading and Managing Cisco IOS XR Software section of the System Management Configuration Guide for Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.
