Check: CISC-ND-000940
Cisco IOS XE Switch NDM STIG:
CISC-ND-000940
(in versions v2 r2 through v1 r0.1)
Title
The Cisco switch must be configured to audit the execution of privileged functions. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Misuse of privileged functions, either intentionally or unintentionally by authorized users, or by unauthorized external entities that have compromised information system accounts, is a serious and ongoing concern and can have significant adverse impacts on organizations. Auditing the use of privileged functions is one way to detect such misuse and identify the risk from insider threats and the advanced persistent threat.
Check Content
Review the Cisco switch configuration to verify that it is compliant with this requirement. The configuration example below will log all commands entered from the command line interface as well as log all configuration changes. hostname R1 ! logging userinfo ! … … … archive log config logging enable ! Note: The logging userinfo global configuration command will generate a log when a user increases his or her privilege level. If the Cisco switch is not configured to log all commands entered from the command line interface as well as log all configuration changes, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the Cisco switch to log all commands entered from the command line interface as well as log all configuration changes as shown in the following example: SW1(config)#logging userinfo SW1(config)#archive SW1(config-archive)#log config SW1(config-archive-log-cfg)#logging enable SW1(config-archive-log-cfg)#end
