1.36 CISC-ND-001250

Information

The Cisco switch must be configured to generate log records when administrator privileges are deleted.

GROUP ID: V-220611
RULE ID: SV-220611r961812

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 switch to generate log records when administrator privileges are deleted as shown in the example below:

SW4(config)#archive
SW4(config-archive)#log config
SW4(config-archive-log-cfg)#logging enable
SW4(config-archive-log-cfg)#end
