Vulnerability discussion

Without information about the outcome of events, security personnel cannot make an accurate assessment as to whether an attack was successful or if changes were made to the security state of the system.Event outcomes can include indicators of event success or failure and event-specific results (e.g., the security state of the device after the event occurred). As such, they also provide a means to measure the impact of an event and help authorized personnel to determine the appropriate response.

Verify that logging is properly configured on the Cisco IOS XE router. The configuration will look similar to the example below: logging userinfo login on-failure log login on-success log archive log config logging enable logging size 1000 notify syslog contenttype plaintext hidekeys If logging is not configured to log the outcome of events, this is a finding.

Fix text

Enter the following commands to enable auditing. The configuration will look similar to the example below: logging userinfo login on-failure log login on-success log archive log config logging enable logging size 1000 notify syslog contenttype plaintext hidekeys

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.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
