iLO 5 Gen10 security states

Communication between the iLO and host operating system occurs over the CHIF interface. Depending on the iLO security state, the communication operates in the following modes:

Normal mode

In normal mode, communication is not encrypted.

Secure mode

In secure mode, communication between the iLO and host operating system is encrypted, authorized, and authenticated.

If SUM finds that a node is using FIPS security mode, SUM does not update that node. Update the node before activating FIPS mode.
