CISC-ND-001270 - The Cisco switch must be configured to generate log records for privileged activities.
Information
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 for privileged activities 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)#logging size 1000
SW4(config-archive-log-cfg)#notify syslog contenttype plaintext
SW4(config-archive-log-cfg)#hidekeys
SW4(config-archive-log-cfg)#end
