CISC-ND-000210 - The Cisco device must be configured to audit all administrator activity.

Information

This requirement supports non-repudiation of actions taken by an administrator and is required in order 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:

SW1(config)#logging userinfo
SW1(config)#archive
SW1(config-archive)#log config
SW1(config-archive-log-cfg)#logging enable
SW1(config-archive-log-cfg)#logging size 1000
SW1(config-archive-log-cfg)#notify syslog contenttype plaintext
SW1(config-archive-log-cfg)#hidekeys
SW1(config-archive-log-cfg)#end
