Check: CISC-ND-001260
Cisco IOS Switch NDM STIG:
CISC-ND-001260
(in versions v2 r9 through v1 r0.1)
Title
The Cisco switch must be configured to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful logon attempts occur. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
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).
Check Content
Review the Cisco switch configuration to verify that it generates audit records when successful/unsuccessful logon attempts occur as shown in the examples below: login on-failure log login on-success log If the Cisco switch is not configured to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful logon attempts occur, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the Cisco switch to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful logon attempts occur as shown in the example below: R5(config)#login on-failure log R5(config)#login on-success log
