Check: CISC-ND-000110
Cisco IOS Switch NDM STIG:
CISC-ND-000110
(in versions v2 r9 through v1 r0.1)
Title
The Cisco switch must be configured to automatically audit account disabling actions. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Account management, as a whole, ensures access to the network device is being controlled in a secure manner by granting access to only authorized personnel. Auditing account disabling actions will support account management procedures. When device management accounts are disabled, user or service accessibility may be affected. Auditing also ensures authorized active accounts remain enabled and available for use when required.
Check Content
Review the switch configuration to determine if it automatically audits account disabling. The configuration should look similar to the example below: archive log config logging enable Note: Configuration changes can be viewed using the show archive log config all command. If account disabling is not automatically audited, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the switch to log account disabling using the following commands: SW4(config)#archive SW4(config-archive)#log config SW4(config-archive-log-cfg)#logging enable SW4(config-archive-log-cfg)#end
