Description
User information contained on a network element is associated to the user's account and the resources the user is authorized to access. If this information becomes corrupted by hardware failures or by a malicious user, it must be restored immediately to ensure network access availability. Backing up this information is a critical step for data recovery. The firewall implementation does not contain user level data; therefore, this requirement is not applicable.
