When you enable FIPS mode on the firewall, what are the subsets of cipher suites available that the admin guide is referring to?
Admin guide -
"When configuring IPSec, a subset of the normally available cipher suites is available."

The ciphers supported under FIPS for ipsec are: HMAC-SHA-1 with either AES128, AES192, or AES256. If perfect forward secrecy is required, only DH Group 14 is permitted.

I asked a similar question for more than a year ago but very limited replies 😃
And in case someone from PA finds this thread, would be nice with a followup for aswell
