Title

A machine-readable or a paper-document backup must be maintained for the configuration of the KVM switch. (Cat III impact)

Discussion

Without a backup of the KVM switch's configuration, you can have a denial of service if the configuration cannot be restored quickly in the event it is lost or a faulty switch needs to be replaced. The ISSO or SA will ensure a machine-readable or a paper-document backup is maintained for the configuration of the KVM switch.

Check Content

Interview the ISSO or SA to verify a backup of the configuration is maintained. If a backup of the configuration does not exist, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Create a machine-readable or paper-document backup of the KVM switch configuration.
