| Review the router configuration to verify that it is compliant with this requirement as shown in the example configurations below. syslog { file LOG_FILE { change-log info; interactive-commands info; } } Note: The parameter "any" can be in place of "change-log" and “interactive-commands” as this will log everything. Also, a syslog server can be configured in addition to or in lieu of logging to a file as shown in the example below. system { syslog { host x.x.x.x { any info; } } If the router is not configured to generate log records for privileged activities, this is a finding. |
