Service Manual

Audit Logs
The audit log contains conguration events and information. The types of information in this log consist of the following:
• User logins to the switch.
• System events for network issues or system issues.
• Users making conguration changes. The switch logs who made the conguration changes and the date and time of the
change. However, each specic change on the conguration is not logged. Only that the conguration was modied is logged
with the user ID, date, and time of the change.
• Uncontrolled shutdown.
Security Logs
The security log contains security events and information. RBAC restricts access to audit and security logs based on the CLI
sessions’ user roles. The types of information in this log consist of the following:
• Establishment of secure trac ows, such as SSH.
• Violations on secure ows or certicate issues.
• Adding and deleting of users.
• User access and conguration changes to the security and crypto parameters (not the key information but the crypto
conguration)
Important Points to Remember
When you enabled RBAC and extended logging:
• Only the system administrator user role can execute this command.
• The system administrator and system security administrator user roles can view security events and system events.
• The system administrator user roles can view audit, security, and system events.
• Only the system administrator and security administrator user roles can view security logs.
• The network administrator and network operator user roles can view system events.
NOTE: If extended logging is disabled, you can only view system events, regardless of RBAC user role.

logging extended command. Only the RBAC system administrator user role can view the audit logs. Only the RBAC security
