Title

The Juniper router must be configured to off-load log records onto a different system than the system being audited. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.

Check Content

Review the router configuration to verify that it is compliant with this requirement as shown in the example below. system { syslog { host x.x.x.x { any info; } } If the router is not configured to off-load log records onto a different system than the system being audited, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the router to send log records to a syslog server as shown in the example below. [edit system] set syslog host x.x.x.x any info
