Check: CISR-ND-000025
Cisco IOS XE Release 3 NDM STIG:
CISR-ND-000025
(in versions v1 r5 through v1 r4)
Title
The Cisco IOS XE router must generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to access privileges 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 information system (e.g., module or policy filter).
Check Content
Verify that the Cisco IOS XE router is configured to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to access privileges. The configuration should look similar to the example below: logging userinfo login on-failure log login on-success log archive log config logging enable logging size 1000 notify syslog contenttype plaintext hidekeys If audit records are not being generated, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the Cisco IOS XE router to enable auditing. The configuration should look similar to the example below: logging userinfo login on-failure log login on-success log archive log config logging enable logging size 1000 notify syslog contenttype plaintext hidekeys
