one DNS server, enter n/a in this
cell. |
NTP Server #1 | Enter IP address or FQDN of first NTP server.

Enable Customer Experience Improvement Program
(“CEIP”) | Select an option to activate or deactivate CEIP across vSphere, NSX-T,
and vSAN during bring-up. |
Parameter | Value |

Enable FIPS Security Mode on SDDC Manager | Select an option to activate or deactivate FIPS security mode during
bring-up. VMware
Cloud Foundation supports Federal Information Processing
Standard (FIPS) 140-2. FIPS 140-2 is a U.S. and Canadian government
standard that specifies security requirements for cryptographic
modules. When you enable FIPS compliance, VMware
Cloud Foundation
enables FIPS cipher suites and components are deployed with FIPS
enabled. To learn more about
support for FIPS 140-2 in VMware products, see https://www.vmware.com/security/certifications/fips.html.
This
option is only available for new VMware
Cloud Foundation installations and the setting
you apply during bring-up will be used for future upgrades.
You cannot change the FIPS security mode setting after
bring-up. |
