Description
This requirement supports non-repudiation of actions taken by an administrator and is required to maintain the integrity of the configuration management process. All configuration changes to the network device are logged, and administrators authenticate with two-factor authentication before gaining administrative access. Together, these processes will ensure the administrators can be held accountable for the configuration changes they implement. To meet this requirement, the network device must log administrator access and activity.

Review the Cisco switch configuration to verify that it logs administrator activity as shown in the example below:

Note: The logging userinfo global configuration command will generate a log when a user increases his or her privilege level.

If logging of administrator activity is not configured, this is a finding.
