You can use the `set cc_mode` command to set the Common Criteria mode. To enable or disable Common Criteria configuration, connect to the CLI console, and then enter the `set cc_mode` command. When you run this command, it restarts the appliance to go through the boot time self tests. You can use this command only on the Grid Master. The setting is propagated to all Grid members. You must restart the members after the configuration change.

For the exact steps that you must perform to enable the CC mode, see *[Enabling / Disabling the CC Mode and FIPS Mode](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/niosfipscc/pages/1458536909)*.

You can use the `reset all` command to clear the Common Criteria mode. For information about `reset all`, see *[reset all](https://docs.infoblox.com/space/nios90/280856005/reset+all)*.

> ⚠️ **Note**
> ⚠️ 
> ⚠️ Factory reset must be done before using the Common Criteria mode.
