Check: CISC-ND-001280
Cisco NX OS Switch NDM STIG:
CISC-ND-001280
(in versions v2 r8 through v1 r0.1)
Title
The Cisco switch must generate audit records showing starting and ending time for administrator access to the system. (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
Verify that the switch is configured to generate log records showing starting and ending time for administrator access as shown in the example below: logging level authpri 6 If the switch is not configured to generate log records showing starting and ending time for administrator access, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the switch to log session start and ending per admin session as shown in the example below: SW1(config)# logging level authpriv 6
