Vulnerability 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

Check the network device configuration to determine if the device off-loads audit records onto a different system or media than the system being audited. If the device does not off-load audit records onto a different system or media, this is a finding. Review the configuration for the "logging host [a.b.c.d]" statement. Execute a "show logging" to verify logging host status.

Fix text

Configure the network device to off-load interconnected systems in real time and off-load standalone systems weekly. Arista EOS logs can be exported to, including by a regular syslog server. Configuration Example: switch(config)#logging host[ a.b.c.d] switch(config)#logging trap informational

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.
