1.4 CISC-ND-000110

Information

The Cisco switch must be configured to automatically audit account disabling actions.

GROUP ID: V-220521
RULE ID: SV-220521r960783

Account management, as a whole, ensures access to the network device is being controlled in a secure manner by granting access to only authorized personnel. Auditing account disabling actions will support account management procedures. When device management accounts are disabled, user or service accessibility may be affected. Auditing also ensures authorized active accounts remain enabled and available for use when required.

Solution

Configure the switch to log account disabling using the following commands:

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