Check: CISC-ND-001240
Cisco IOS XE Switch NDM STIG:
CISC-ND-001240
(in versions v2 r2 through v1 r0.1)
Title
The Cisco switch must be configured to generate log records when administrator privileges are modified. (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 is compliant with this requirement as shown in the examples below: hostname R4 ! ! logging userinfo … … … archive log config logging enable Note: The logging userinfo command will log when the administrator increases his or her privilege level while the log config command will log all configuration changes such as changing privilege levels for certain commands. If the Cisco switch is not configured to generate log records when administrator privileges are modified, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the Cisco switch to generate log records when account privileges are modified as shown in the example below: SW4(config)#logging userinfo SW4(config)#archive SW4(config-archive)#log config SW4(config-archive-log-cfg)#logging enable SW4(config-archive-log-cfg)#end
