The SEL-2740S must alert the ISSO and SA (at a minimum) in the event of an audit processing failure.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-92293	SELS-ND-000340	SV-102381r1_rule		Medium

Description
It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without this notification, the security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability and system operation may be adversely affected. Audit processing failures include software/hardware errors, failures in the audit capturing mechanisms, and audit storage capacity being reached or exceeded.

Check Text ( C-91589r1_chk )
Review the configuration node of the SEL-2740S in the flow controller and verify the alarm contact behavior is configured as a log service under All Categories in the configuration object for the desired switch. If the switch is not configured to alert the ISSO and SA in the event of an audit processing failure, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-98531r1_fix)
On commissioning the SEL-2740S, enter the IP address, subnet mask, flow controller IP address, default gateway, and host name. Select the severity level desired for the alarm contact in the log services for the configuration node.
