Fix Recommendation

Configure the Cisco switch to send log records to a syslog server as shown in the example below:

SW4(config)#logging host x.x.x.x
SW4(config)#logging trap notifications

Check Contents

Review the Cisco switch configuration to verify that it off-loads log records onto a different system than the system being audited as shown in the example below:

logging trap notifications
logging x.x.x.x

Note: The default for sending log messages to the syslog server is informational (level 6); hence, the command logging trap information will not be seen in the configuration. The level of log messages sent to the syslog server can be verified using the show logging command.

If the Cisco switch is not configured to off-load log records onto a different system than the system being audited, this is a finding.
