| Administrators need to be aware of activity that occurs regarding their network device management account. Providing administrators with information regarding the number of unsuccessful attempts made to login to their account allows them to determine if any unauthorized activity has occurred. Without this information, the administrator may not be aware that unauthorized activity has occurred. This incorporates all methods of login, including, but not limited to, SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, and physical connectivity. |

| The Cisco router is not compliant with this requirement. However, the risk associated with this requirement can be fully mitigated if the router is configured to utilize an authentication server to authenticate and authorize users for administrative access. Review the router configuration to verify that the device is configured to use an authentication server as primary source for authentication as shown in the following example: aaa new-model ! aaa authentication login LOGIN_AUTHENTICATION group radius local … … … ip http authentication aaa login-authentication LOGIN_AUTHENTICATION ip http secure-server … … … radius-server host x.x.x.x auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key xxxxxxx … … … line con 0 exec-timeout 10 0 login authentication LOGIN_AUTHENTICATION line vty 0 4 exec-timeout 10 0 login authentication LOGIN_AUTHENTICATION If the router is not configured to use an authentication server to authenticate and authorize users for administrative access, this is a finding. |
