Tamper Switch and Zeroization
The following ETEP models include a tamper switch: ET0010A, ET0100A, ET1000A, and ET10000A.
The switch is activated if the ETEP cover is removed while the unit is operating or if the ETEP detects
that the cover is open while it is booting. When the ETEP detects that the switch is activated it enters an
error state, zeroizes the appliance’s keying material, and discards all traffic. Zeroization has the same
effect as issuing the filesystem-reset command.
