Title
The Arista Multilayer Switch must produce audit log records containing sufficient information to establish what type of event occurred. (Cat III impact)
Discussion
It is essential for security personnel to know what is being done, what was attempted, where it was done, when it was done, and by whom it was done in order to compile an accurate risk assessment. Associating event types with detected events in the application and audit logs provides a means of investigating an attack; recognizing resource utilization or capacity thresholds; or identifying an improperly configured network device. Without this capability, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack.
Check Content
Review the device configuration and verify that logging is enabled with sufficient detail to establish what type of event occurred. If logging is not enabled or does not provide sufficient detail, this is a finding. To determine if logging is enabled, enter: switch#show logging The output must show logging as enabled, with a logging level of informational or debugging.
Fix Text
Enable logging on the switch with sufficient detail to establish what type of event occurred. To configure logging to a remote syslog server at the informational level, enter: switch#config switch(config)#logging host [ip address] switch(config)#logging trap informational
