(Windows only) The Trellix FRP client needs to be deployed in FIPS mode to operate in a FIPS-certified manner.

Deploy Trellix FRP on the client in one of these ways:

  • Deployment task — Make sure to add the keyword FIPS on the task command line in ePO - On-prem.

  • Third-party deployment software — Make sure to pass the parameter FIPS_MODE=1 when you install the Trellix FRP client package, according to the following command:

    • 32-bit system — msiexec.exe/q/i eeff32.msi FIPS_MODE=1

    • 64-bit system — msiexec.exe/q/i eeff64.msi FIPS_MODE=1

Note

These guidelines apply only to a clean installation of Trellix FRP in FIPS mode. If Trellix FRP is already installed and you want to upgrade to this version of Trellix FRP and install in FIPS mode, see KB81433.
