The Arista network device must be configured to capture all DOD auditable events.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Auditing and logging are key components of any security architecture. Logging the actions of specific events provides a means to investigate an attack; to recognize resource utilization or capacity thresholds; or to identify an improperly configured network device. If auditing is not comprehensive, it will not be useful for intrusion monitoring, security investigations, and forensic analysis.

Remediation - Manual Procedure

Configure a logging level sufficient to capture all DOD auditable events.
