SRG-APP-000395-NDM-000310
Group -
The Cisco switch must be configured to encrypt SNMP messages using a FIPS 140-2 approved algorithm.
Without the strong encryption that is provided by the SNMP Version 3 User-based Security Model (USM), an unauthorized user can gain access to network management information that can be used to crea...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000395-NDM-000347
Group -
The Cisco switch must be configured to authenticate Network Time Protocol (NTP) sources using authentication that is cryptographically based.
If NTP is not authenticated, an attacker can introduce a rogue NTP server. This rogue server can then be used to send incorrect time information to network devices, which will make log timestamps i...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000411-NDM-000330
Group -
The Cisco switch must be configured to use FIPS-validated Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) to protect the integrity of remote maintenance sessions.
Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not verified and therefore cannot be relied on to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DOD data may be co...Rule High Severity -
SRG-APP-000412-NDM-000331
Group -
The Cisco switch must be configured to implement cryptographic mechanisms to protect the confidentiality of remote maintenance sessions.
This requires the use of secure protocols instead of their unsecured counterparts, such as SSH instead of telnet, SCP instead of FTP, and HTTPS instead of HTTP. If unsecured protocols (lacking cryp...Rule High Severity -
SRG-APP-000435-NDM-000315
Group -
The Cisco switch must be configured to protect against known types of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks by employing organization-defined security safeguards.
DoS is a condition when a resource is not available for legitimate users. When this occurs, the organization either cannot accomplish its mission or must operate at degraded capacity. This require...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000499-NDM-000319
Group -
The Cisco switch must be configured to generate log records when administrator privileges are deleted.
Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an in...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000503-NDM-000320
Group -
The Cisco switch must be configured to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful logon attempts occur.
Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an in...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000504-NDM-000321
Group -
The Cisco switch must be configured to generate log records for privileged activities.
Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an in...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000336
Group -
The Cisco switch must be configured to use at least two authentication servers to authenticate users prior to granting administrative access.
Centralized management of user accounts and authentication increases the administrative access to the switch. This control is particularly important protection against the insider threat. With ro...Rule High Severity -
SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000340
Group -
The Cisco switch must be configured to support organizational requirements to conduct backups of the configuration when changes occur.
System-level information includes default and customized settings and security attributes, including access control lists (ACLs) that relate to the network device configuration, as well as software...Rule Medium Severity

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
