Fix Recommendation

Configure the Cisco switch to send critical to emergency log messages to the syslog server as shown in the example below:

SW4(config)# logging server 10.1.48.10 2

Note: The parameter 2 (critical) can replaced with a lesser severity level 3 through 6 (i.e. error, warning, notice, informational).

Check Contents

Review the Cisco switch configuration to verify that it is compliant with this requirement as shown in the example below:

logging server 10.1.48.10 2

Note: The parameter 2 (critical) can replaced with a lesser severity level 3 through 6 (i.e. error, warning, notice, informational). Informational is the default severity level; hence, if the severity level is configured to informational, the parameter 7 will not be shown in the configuration.

If the Cisco switch is not configured to generate an alert for all audit failure events, this is a finding.
