A minimum of two syslog servers must be deployed in the management network.

Maintaining an audit trail of system activity logs can help identify configuration errors, understand past intrusions, troubleshoot service disruptions, and react to probes and scans of the network.

Review the network topology and verify that at least two syslog servers are located within the management network. Note the IP addresses as documented on the management network topology and verify that this is what is configured on the network elements as the host devices for sending syslog data.

If a minimum of two syslog servers have not been deployed in the management network, this is a finding.

Stand up at least two syslog servers and connect them to the management network. Configure all managed network elements to send syslog data to the syslog servers.
