The Cisco router must be configured to log all packets that have been dropped at interfaces via ACL.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity

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 are logged as shown in the configuration below.

ipv4 access-list EXTERNAL_ACL_INBOUND
10 permit tcp host x.11.1.1 eq bgp host x.11.1.2
20 permit tcp host x.11.1.1 host x.11.1.2 eq bgp
25 deny icmp any host x.11.1.2 fragments log
30 permit icmp host x.11.1.1 host x.11.1.2 echo
40 permit icmp host x.11.1.1 host x.11.1.2 echo-reply
50 deny ipv4 any host x.11.1.1 log
60 permit tcp any any established



140 deny ipv4 any any log

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