AMLS-NM-000180 – The Arista Multilayer Switch must generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to access privileges occur.

Details

Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one.

Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g., module or policy filter).

Solution

Enable logging on the switch with sufficient detail to fulfill the specifications set forth in the VulDiscussion.

To configure logging to a remote syslog server at the informational level, enter:

switch#config
switch(config)#logging host [ip address]
switch(config)#logging trap informational

Then configure the following AAA:

aaa accounting commands all default start-stop logging [group radius]
