1.37 CISC-ND-001260

Information

The Cisco router must be configured to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful logon attempts occur.

GROUP ID: V-215704
RULE ID: SV-215704r879874

Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one.

Audit records can be generated from various components within the network device (e.g., module or policy filter).

Solution

Configure the Cisco router to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful logon attempts occur as shown in the example below.

R5(config)#login on-failure log
R5(config)#login on-success log
