Description
Auditing and logging are key components of any security architecture. It is essential for security personnel to know what is being done or attempted to be done, and by whom, to compile an accurate risk assessment. Auditing the actions on network devices provides a means to recreate an attack or identify a configuration mistake on the device.

Review all ACLs used to filter traffic and verify that packets being dropped at interfaces via an ACL are logged as shown in the configuration below:

ip access-list extended INGRESS_FILTER
permit tcp any any established
permit tcp any host x.11.1.5 eq www
permit icmp host x.11.1.1 host x.11.1.2 echo
permit icmp any any echo-reply



deny ip any any log

If packets being dropped are not logged, this is a finding.
