The Cisco router must be configured to off-load log records onto a different system than the system being audited.

Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration.

Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.

Review the Cisco router configuration to verify that it is compliant with this requirement as shown in the example below.
