View Next Audit Version

Information

This requirement supports non-repudiation of actions taken by an administrator and is required to maintain the integrity of the configuration management process. All configuration changes to the network device are logged, and administrators authenticate with two-factor authentication before gaining administrative access. Together, these processes will ensure the administrators can be held accountable for the configuration changes they implement.

To meet this requirement, the network device must log administrator access and activity.

Solution

Configure the switch to log administrator activity as shown in the example below:

SW4(config)#logging userinfo
SW4(config)#archive
SW4(config-archive)#log config
SW4(config-archive-log-cfg)#logging enable
SW4(config-archive-log-cfg)#logging size 1000
SW4(config-archive-log-cfg)#notify syslog contenttype plaintext
SW4(config-archive-log-cfg)#hidekeys
SW4(config-archive-log-cfg)#end
